Anyone who purchases a Transcendent kit, if
desired, can become a Transcendent Associate. Associates
are authorized to resell assembled kits to the general public
at a profit and will be listed on the web site. This program
is designed to allow hobbyists to use their kit building skills
to earn some extra money. No capital investment is required,
just the purchase of the first kit.
Why are you doing this?
Transcendent Sound is a factory direct operation.
The Associates
program gives us field representation. Also, we gain access
to your valuable labor. This increases product visibility and
gives hobbyists a chance to earn money in their spare time doing
something they enjoy. Everyone wins!
Can Associates deal on price?
Sure you can. We don't care what price
you sell them for. Obviously, the lower you set your price,
the less money you make.
What if the customer auditions the unit
and then buys from the factory?
That is a chance you have to take. It
is inevitable that some people will do this. We suggest
that you remove the lid and show the customer your good work
to convince them that you can do a quality job.
What information is listed on the web site?
The minimum information will be your email
address and city. If desired, name and/or phone number
will be included. The level of privacy desired will always
be respected.
Can Associates make upgrades and modifications?
Absolutely! If you want to include more
expensive volume controls, attenuators, special components, or
custom mods, go right ahead. We want you to have every
chance to make a sale. In this business, everyone wants
something different. So give them something different and
charge accordingly.
How much money do you think we can make?
Don't quit your day job. Audio is a
small market business. Look at it this way. If you
sell just two kits, you made more than enough money to pay for
your original purchase. The program is intended to allow
you to have a chance to earn money to subsidize your hobby. Instead
of just taking your money, Transcendent Sound is interested in
partnering with you to our mutual benefit. No other audio
company will do this for their customers.
Are there any time obligations to be an
Associate?
None whatsoever. You can be listed as
an associate for as little or as long as you like?
What if I can't get the kit to work?
If you make a mistake that you can't figure out, kits will
be repaired at the factory for a fee. If the problem is caused by a
faulty part (extremely rare), the factory
will cover that. The factory will not cover modifications.
Who pays who?
The Associate buys the kit from the factory.
The customer then pays the associate for the finished product. Or
if preferred, the customer can buy the kit from the factory and have the kit
shipped to the Associate. The customer then pays the Associate for
assembly.
What about warranty?
The factory will warranty all original parts.
If a unit breaks down due to a bad
part during the warranty period, the factory will cover that.
Transcendent circuitry is very reliable and trouble free.
Warranty repairs are a minor issue and almost never occur.
