Service Variations from Market to Market
[QUOTE=HVille7014;4642919]You guys are great. Wayyyyy better than Huntsville. We don't have a thing! Lucky if you can even get a tease / DYI there.[/QUOTE]This has always mystified me a little. Why SOME cities (markets) have GREAT talent and services, and others have something totally opposite. I can't imagine the VAST difference is entirely due to the LE or political environment, so if any of you "Asian Cartel Conspiracy Theorists" have any clues you'd like to share, that would be enlightening. At least for me.
I've seen random and probably unreliable reports that the entire Tampa area, for example, is "overseen" by some AMP Overlord Organization, or something like that, which serves to keep ALL of the AMP's in line with similar rules and services. Ostensibly, the benefit there is that they don't drive one another out of business by getting TOO much better (or cheaper) than the rest of them. If that were even close to true, that would explain why nearly every Tampa area high-end AMP only has ALL-COVERED services, yet Orlando does NOT. If anything, the wild service levels in Orlando would appear to indicate the various AMP's are actually trying to compete for our business with ever-increasingly wild services (fine by ME! LOL!
I see stories about Philly being as good as Orlando (or close) with lower pricing, yet Detroit or Chicago being relatively much poorer. NYC and LA / San Diego seem to have very good service levels (going only by reports I see on here. I've never actually been to those markets for AMP visits). It would seem, to my simple uninformed mind, that if some of those larger cities are relatively underserved, so to speak, that should be an opportunity for the AMP business to invest there, yet that doesn't seem to happen.
Of course, I feel fortunate to have access to this Florida market and, as out-of-town guys tell us constantly, we DO have it great here.
