“Ultimately, the reps are an extension of us,” said Brad Ganz, KICKER’s Regional Sales Manager for the Central U.S. “If they’re doing a good job, dealers are happy. It’s a well-oiled machine that keeps moving. If there is a problem, we want the reps to be able to handle the issue quickly and effectively.”
