11 Traits That Make a Concrete Producer Stand Out From The Crowd
It’s a fact; we all do business with people we know, like and trust. Without those three fundamental building blocks at the base of any business relationship things are doomed from the start. We don’t expect to, nor do we want to sell a concrete plant to every producer. If you think long enough about that statement I’m certain you’ll agree that the same could be said for your ready mix operation and your customers. Truth be told, some folks are better left to your competition.
A good fit with your concrete equipment dealer is essential to a successful partnership. Our core responsibility to our concrete-producer customer is to help them sell more— and higher quality— concrete profitably so that they can provide high levels of service to their customer base. We do this by sharing the latest equipment, trends, technology, information, regulatory advisories and “best management practices” (BMP’s) being used in the ready mix concrete industry today. This value that we provide drives us to look at the whole picture and develop close working relationships that last many years. Concrete producers can expect us to stick around and help solve pressing challenges today, tomorrow, and down the road. (We trust that road will be built using concrete…)
