Mike Andes explains how to get priority service from equipment dealers: spend big and build relationships. He's invested $60,000 this year and plans another $30,000–$40,000, plus small gestures like bringing coffee. That spending plus personal attention gets you to the front of the line.
I don't wait for service. They will stop what they're doing and they'll take care of us. Now, we also spent 60 grand this year on equipment, and we're going to be doing probably another 30 or 40. So they like that. They like that money. We built up a really good relationship with our dealer, which is key. Like, if you don't have a good relationship with your dealer, you're going to be in a world of hurt. Like, talk to them, trust them, make conversations with them, take them a cup of coffee, take them breakfast. One day, they will appreciate it and they'll put you to the front of the line.
