Knobhill 0 Posted September 2, 2008 I've recently been approached by a U-Haul AFM to open a new dealership at my shop. Is it worth it? Seams like a lot of work for the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodger 527 Posted September 2, 2008 Honestly , not trying to bash or start any friction . I don't think you have the people skill/ temperment to deal with stuff like that . The most easy-going , care-free person in the world gets grouchy etc when dealing with the public . U-Hall rentals & stuff like that , you have to let the customers be right , even when they are not . Reading your posts & the responses you have given & especially the response you have given me , I don't think there would be much repeat business . I don't deal well with the public for very long either BTW , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShowMeVinyls 0 Posted September 2, 2008 I have a very good friend that has enterprise and budget truck rentals . They make decent money from it but it consumes a lot of their time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted September 2, 2008 I think you gotta love people and be a real "people person" to do that kind of job, or own that kind of business. I'm not. I don't care much for people, crowds are even worse, and when the customer is wrong, I usually spare no expense to inform them - the more defiant, the bigger my soap box.

polarkiss 1 Posted September 3, 2008 Sounds pretty time consuming, but could be the right job for the right personality. Research it a little further and make your own desicion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been dealing with the public for almost 30 years. What you've seen on this site is irrelevant if not redundant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted September 6, 2008 knobhill , I'm glad you said you were not offended by me in the other thread . I try to let people know how they are coming across IN CASE they don't know . That was the reason I said your 1rst comment to me in the SBE 4-sale thread seemed snotty ( I had sent you a pm ). Now I don't see how anybody could take your last comment about being " irrelevant if not redundant " as anything but negative Hmmm ....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
