Managing Flat 8's as efficiently as possible

I explain they are getting far more hay for the money , simps really

There is a saving to be had for them. Less haulage. Less labour.

But at the end if the customer wants small bales and you can't supply they shop elsewhere.

That's a big ask round here , small bales and delivered , .....

But you didn't tell the customer they had to have 6 litre bottles instead of 500ml ones.

You change the delivery time not the product.

You really couldn't make up how far off the mark you are.

OP is trying to work with an out dated system just to keep a few customers happy, if he approaches them in the right way 95% (as another poster reported) would change to a system that is better.

I just quoted an example of managing customers from an industry which I am familiar with.

That’s kind of the point of doing them, £50 for 10 small bales or £30 for one big one, same amount. Of course the extra £20 has to be worth it. If you are doing 10000 small bales that’s £20k

Depends on how big the big one is .... 80 x 50 are quite big

I don't know why these people bother with stooking corn they should tell their customers to slate their roof!

What you quoted was a delivery option not a product option. Totally different
