Dealers: Become a ‘Happy Perpetual Tech Hunter’

Tim Brannon writes in this article, "We just returned from a dealer training event with our major supplier. There we got to rub elbows with dealership personnel from across the country and Canada. Though it got off to a rough start by humorously being singled out of the crowd by the kick off speaker as 'the one most likely to be wondering if I will be here next time' (just wait 'til I show those young whipper-snappers next year), the training got better by the class."
