font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Dealer evaluation can also consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">after-sales performance;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;

font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">professional market development.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As dealers improve their overall level, they can qualify for additional incentives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The current strategy provides for combined rebates of up to 10% for dealers reaching the relevant performance requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Parts purchasing is also connected with incentives because a dealer selling machines without establishing appropriate parts capability can create service risk for customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Likewise, after-sales responsiveness and customer satisfaction can influence dealer evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The logic is designed to encourage a balanced business:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">sell machines, maintain service capability and continue investing in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Digital Tools Make Scale Easier<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;
