I'd like to guarantee you that I can, could and would do better than your current team. But I admittedly think a LOT of myself, just barely on the right side of "unhealthy". I also have to rib and jest at you a bit as a new commercial user.
lol thanks! At least you have a realistic view of yourself haha. Retail is very tough. It's the funnest job I have had and I love our customers and talking with them and seeing their excitement! But it is challenging to be in a "good" mood all the time when you feel bad and are grumpy. We try to hit the mark with our prices, but we got in sideways on this one. We can't scour the internet to see what the lowest guy is liquidating his inventory for when we take a trade. We go by supplier cost to dealers and got burned on this one. Isn't the first time, wont be the last. I appreciate the advice!
