27. What Makes A Good Equipment Dealer? Store Manager James & Sales Manager Alex J Share Their Thoughts! Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

Today we have an in-person podcast episode we did at my dealer of choice Weingartz in Farmington Hills MI. I got to sit down for an hour with sales manager Alex J and store manager James M and pick their brain about what makes a good equipment dealer in the green industry.

I will say that after working with these guys for more than a decade, they've been some of the classiest people and dealer one could ask for. They're not perfect by any means, no one is, but I will say that over the decade they've proven that they have my back as a lawn care business owner and want to see my business succeed big time.

Thanks for joining us as we have an open conversation about what to look for when you visit a dealer, how to deal with sales departments, and also why you should buy and support your local dealer. Enjoy!
