    Oakley

    Anyone provide me with info on the requirements to open and Oakley account? I am very likely NOT going to do this, but wanted to know how it works (so I can convince the person who really wants me to why we shouldn't).

    Also, do they have any ongoing volume requirements to maintain an account?

    Thanks!

    The best thing to do would be to call the company and find out who is the rep for your area. Then good luck getting through, or getting someone to call you back. That right there will be a good argument point on not carrying them! Then when someone finally calls back, you might hear they don't need your business. That's what happened to my office years ago.
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    It used to be a minimum of $1500, but that's probably changed. We had them, let them go, and never missed them.
