 Topic: Ten years as a partsman!
Posted: 19 Jan 2010 at 10:49pm |
|
Cant believe it, but tomorrow(the 20th) will be my 10th anniversary of being a parts man at the local A-C, New Holland dealership. It has gone by in a blink of an eye! I have had the opportunity to talk to many of you through this job as well as finding some interesting parts sitting on the shelves around the country.
I am still working the counter and also moving into selling as well.
Thanks for all of the business and heres hoping for ten more years!
Jim

What is the dumbest question anyone ever asked you? I was a parts man at a Honda motorcycle dealership in the 70's. A kid asked for a powerband like in his buddy's bike. Another said he needed about 150 pounds of compression. TRUE!

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

Congratulations Jim! Here's to ten more. How's a nice honest guy like you going to be in equipment sales? I guess most of the tractor salesmen I've met were nice.

Jim, Been there and done that. Worked for Hunley Sales & Service for 13 years. Sometimes it is a trying job. Back then it was card files. Now with computers it must be easyer. Mircofich was not as good as the old parts books,for as I`m concernd.The programs that they have nowdays are awsome. Keep up the good work and remember,it is not your fault for the prices.
