Alan Foy, turf sales representative with A&M Green Power, talks about the typical rural lifestyle customer they see at one of their five locations in Pacific Junction, Iowa.
Today, for many dealerships the rural lifestyle market is a significant and growing revenue stream. Now, there's a new rural catchphrase — urban ruralism.
You can receive each issue of Rural Lifestyle Dealer simply by confirming your involvement in the rural lifestyle equipment industry. The process takes just a few minutes to assure that you'll receive issues for the next year.
One characteristic that sets apart many rural lifestyle dealerships is the company culture and work ethic of the employees. Chris Frodel and Bryan Hanson, owners of Mid-State Equipment in Janesville, Wis., talk about the company culture at Mid-State. Customer service comes in as the top priority for the company.
