Sandi Frye, Altoona, PA - "It's been great to have someone else look at my business and make suggestions. The Operations Team has helped me refocus on my business, operationally and financially, and how to be smarter about buying inventory. Premier's Operations Team is so experienced. It's good to see what a difference they can make regardless of how large or small a store is."
Ruben Flores, Bradenton, FL - "The Ops Team has lots of RTO experience and is a great asset to the company. By having an outside viewpoint, I realized I needed to get back to the basics and to take advantage of the reporting we have to help me focus on my bottom line."
Heath Peters, Hastings, NE - "Premier Dealers have the option of being part of the Premier Purchasing Corporate Group or an independent member of the buying groups, TRIB or Nationwide. There is no entry or annual fee for dealers participating in the corporate program. The Director of Purchasing does a terrific job of following up with vendors to be sure dealers are receiving all their rebates. This takes the burden off of the dealer. He also pursues additional rebates that dealers may not have access to. The corporate buying group attends the buying shows and will assist new dealers unsure of how to best utilize the buying show for their purchases."
Jesse & Jamie Hunt, Cheyenne, WY - "We love the flexibility we have with Premier. They offer lots of support in all areas, however we have the option to take advantage of it or not. For example, Premier Marketing designs monthly campaigns for us. We can decide to use all or some of the elements created or we have the flexibility to do something different on our own. We're able to make our own decisions on the merchandise we buy. We like that we're not told what we have to do. Flexibility is a terrific benefit to being a Premier Dealer."
Mark Powl, Carlisle, PA - "During my New Dealer Checkout, there was a lot of information to go over in a short period of time but the New Dealer Guide is very valuable. It had all contact information for preferred vendors and really helped to get the ball rolling for opening up the store. Having this quality of service is a great benefit in becoming a Premier Dealer."
Roy Soto, San Antonio, TX - "I love the flexibility that Premier Marketing offers. We have so many options, tools and resources to help make it easier to decide how to market our business."
John Miller, Roanoke, VA - "I traveled to the Premier Corporate Office to spend a day with Nancy Price, Director of Marketing. We reviewed step-by-step all of the tools available on the Premier Marketing Site. I learned what other dealers are doing to grow their business and I left the meeting with the realization that I needed to ramp up my marketing efforts and to attack the advertising from all angles with consistency. So... we did and I'm seeing an increase in potential revenue."
Chad Fosdick, North Platte, NE - "The Dealer Retreat is very energizing! It is most beneficial to attend these events and have the opportunity to ask specific questions directly to successful dealers to learn how they obtain high performing operations. The open forum is a great benefit to me"
Wally Landmesser, Bridgeport, CT - "My motivation and desire to be a business owner has helped me keep my doors open over the past 15 years but today, it is with the support that is available to me through The Premier Companies. Trooper has a great vision for his company and a good heart. I'm very proud to be a Premier Dealer and part of the history and growth of the company."
Mike Shuler, Kearney, NE - "There truly is no better feeling than when you have a positive impact on the lives of others you surround yourself with. I attribute the success of our two stores to the valuable support that Premier offers."
Coe Ecker & David Quinn, Snellville, GA - "We became attracted to The Premier Companies because of the flexibility to run our business, while knowing that Premier offers a structured organization, and the support systems to assist us when needed."
Drew Summa, Oakland Park, FL - "I had heard many good things about being a Premier franchisee and I felt very comfortable with Trooper the several times we spoke about becoming a franchisee. The warmth and sincerity from Trooper, in addition to the advantages of being a Premier franchisee, helped me make my decision. The Premier Companies provide the necessary support to their franchisees with respect to all aspects of running a business."
Rick Vadnais, Syracuse, NY - "The empowerment of controlling your own destiny is my main reason for becoming a business owner. The personal service that I received from Trooper played a role in my decision to become a Premier franchisee; I didn't feel like a number. Trooper personally interacted with me and was involved in making sure I had everything that I needed when going for funding. The support from The Premier Companies is a great help."
