Best-One Tire & Service’s Post

Traceability is an important part of manufacturing.

Human error and lost stickers made traceability a huge problem for one automobile parts manufacturer. But with a vision system and one of our handled dot peen pin markers, the manufacturer was able to track parts right back to the shift when it was marked. #automobile #automanufacturing #autoindustry #manufacturing #pinmarking #barcodereader #barcodes

Brand new 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat en route to its new owner in Arizona. An interesting dealer trade story behind this one. A salesperson from a dealer close to the customer reached out to me for a dealer trade, and despite reluctance from their sales manager to do a dealer trade due to distance concerns, I stepped in to put the deal together for the customer. The customer wired funds, and off the car goes. Reflecting on the situation, was it laziness or a genuine concern that held back the sales manager from doing the dealer trade? It's essential to recognize the efforts of salespeople and overcome obstacles for successful deals. Such situations can be demotivating for sales teams. I heard the disappointment in the salesperson’s voice when he said his manager didn’t want to do the dealer trade and asked if I can finish it for him. Despite the uncertainty, going the extra mile can lead to fruitful relationships and future business opportunities. It’s all the little things… #newcar #dodge #challenger #hellcat #shipit #transporter

Did you know, proper tire sizing plays a critical role in the performance, durability, safety, and MPG of every vehicle on the road! This is why changing the size of your tires is not advised by most manufacturers without proper consultation with a professional tire service center. Outside of physical size other characteristics of your tires such as weight limitations, and speed ratings need to be considered. Be sure to stop by Elite Tire, and one of our experienced sales reps will help you choose the right tires for your vehicle!

In the realm of car sales, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's the cornerstone of trust and credibility. Reflecting on my varied career path, from military service to personal development and investment, the importance of walking the talk has never been clearer. If you're in car sales, driving the brand you sell isn't just good practice; it demonstrates belief in the product and aligns personal values with professional recommendations. Being genuine in your endorsement can significantly impact your influence and success. #ProfessionalGrowth #AuthenticSales #CarBranding
