Josh is a great guy, he and I had many good conversations at his Uncles shop when he worked there. And I wish him great success in his new position, I am sure he will accomplish good things.
YOU GO BOY! Congratulations Josh. Now…. something that i have been hammering industry for, for years is a video we can download to a flash drive (in this case) of Kenwood’s GUI (which is present in most models) so I don’t have to have my team spend 1/2 hour or more in a product demo that the client will forget within minutes. We do offer a refresher course, however, that takes more time when a client pop’s in for the advice and we have a store full of customers and don’t want to say, “come back sometime and we’ll talk”! Sorry, that’s not good service. having this type of added value will close more Kenwood sales.
Once upon a time there was an owner’s manual on CD…. all we need is a digital copy and we’ll provide the flash drive.
Industry please take heed.
Congratulations and well done, my friend! You certainly deserve it. Excited to see what you do with this new position and all that comes with it. Best of luck!
Well deserved Josh!
