>>In what other industry, not using the dealership model, would we be ok with major purchases being gate-kept by an army of middlemen who’s job is to grift off of every sale I see you have never tried to buy Enterprise Technology equipment, or Enterprise Software or really anything that is target at B2B sales Consumer sales have less of this, but 90% B2B is network of middlemen gifting off sales with no way to go direct. hell I was on a call directly with the developer of a software product I wanted to buy, it was a low 4 figure deal, but it took several weeks to buy it because the deal had to go through some 3rd party company as they did not sell direct... I would rather just added it to a cart online and bought it with my company credit card....
