Service Dealer
EQUIP SPECIAL REPORT
Chaired by regular Service Dealer columnist Sara Hey of dealer training specialists Bob Clements International based in Missouri, a panel discussion took place as part of Equip’s comprehensive schedule of dealer education events.
Comprised of dealer Pete McArthur of Strathbogie Forest & Garden and turf professional Danny Lewis, landscape contracts manager at Manchester City FC who had travelled over with our magazine, they compared experiences with U.S contemporaries joining them in the conversation, dealer Mike Gillum of Gillum’s Service & Repair based out of Ashland, Kentucky and contractor Ryan Payne of Augusta Lawncare Services.
Subject areas covered in the debate included what areas of technology have transformed working practises in recent years and any hurdles involved in making that effective? What issues did our panellists see making their jobs difficult in the next 18 months? And how have they increased revenue streams recently.
