Are you asking from lab to doc or lab to lab?

 

[charles007]

Is it Open Shooting Season on $99.00 labs in the blind....... lol

 

[rkm rdt]

one of the larger labs that's been around for at least 40 years.

I think if they give it away as charity will be better for them.

One of my customers just picked up a few pucks and was telling me one of his docs just showed him a GW invoice. It was 4 - $99 crowns with $120 discount which equals...$69 EACH!
He said this doc is pushing him for $60 FC's.

 

[Tayebdental]

Does that doc has an everlasting discount?

I had an office that was bought out by a larger group ask for $65 emax.. I could only laugh. There is a local lab that does them for that price though..

Just wait for the doodoo to hit the fan when the Drs are expecting their crowns, but all the kids in the 'sweat-labs' have all left for chinese new year. True story.

When I read this thread all I can think of is thank god I am not like the majority of the idiots the think they have some clue how to run a business.

If you are selling crowns for this price the first thing you need to realize is McDonalds is always hiring and that you have a better chance of a long term career if you go and apply.

I still smile and think thank god I have a plan that is actually based on sound principals not based on fear.

 

[Juko]

Damn, I'm gonna have to lower my prices to stay with it. NOT!

I doubt JG's plan is based on fear.

Hey John, I'm running scared so I raised my prices out of fear.... lol
Best materials out sells cheap in my field of dreams...

Don't really want to wish ill will on the $99.00 Bruxzir labs and lower.
If the truth were told, I hope they all go out of business while following GW by the
coat-tails..

When the established labs do this it lowers the ceiling for everyone.

 

[charles007]

I agree rkm,
It takes guts to not just follow the leaders in our industry and be your own small time leader....

Like I've always heard, there's Leaders and there's Followers. If your going to be a follower, you
better always watch your back...... meaning, there is now no bottom to lower pricing
and your roof may cave in at any minute or next mailing Sales Flyer ...... lol

The lowest I heard to Dr's was like 79.00 usd. So sad.
