The next year for our industry looks bleak. For most dealers, surviving alone will be difficult. If we want to maximize our chances of getting through it as a whole, we need to start sharing knowledge with each other.In today’s episode, Tim sits down with Pete Schoenfeld (United Buyers Group, HPBA National Board) to talk about the tough spot many businesses find themselves in due to supply chain issues. Pete provides valuable insight about new practices he’s noticed dealers adopting to get through these uncertain times.In today’s episode, you’ll learn:   The resources that you need to start tapping into (you’re probably unaware of most of them).  The increasing importance of understanding a customer’s problem (your team has to start prioritizing this).   The benefits of physically traveling to talk with other industry professionals (you’re missing out by staying strictly online).  This next year doesn’t have to be so scary. If we focus on communicating—with retailers, distributors, and customers—we have an increased chance of making it out of the COVID crisis as a whole. Listen today to learn what you can do to best prepare your business for the daunting months ahead.

Pete Schoenfeld - Communication Wins

We are standing on the edge of a precipice looking around at the disruption that's happening in nearly every other sphere of business. Understanding this, we can either continue to stay segmented and blindly hold onto what has worked in the past or we can come together to figure out this new landscape of business together. In today's episode, I sit down with Pete Schoenfeld (Senior VP, Fireplace Warehouse of Denver, CO) to have an honest conversation about the state of our industry and what we need to be thinking about as we look toward the future. In this conversation:   Understand why building relationships with competitors will help serve your company (this is something that many people don't take advantage of)   Learn who is to blame for the EPA 2020 lack of sell through (it may not be who you think it is)   Understand how to get involved in protecting our industry and moving it forward (this is something that every business should do)   Don't miss out on the opportunity to hear this authentic and honest conversation about the state of our industry right now—and what you need to be thinking about for the future!
