Have you ever wondered how a used machinery dealer like myself approaches buying secondhand equipment?
About a month ago, I did my first LinkedIn live talk and featured that subject. I focused the talk on my techniques for communicating with sellers and equipment experts.
I believe the majority of people these days lean too much on online networking, emailing, texting, and instant quotes. I discussed the art of actually talking to people to better understand the machines they’re looking at, to discover serendipity, and negotiate the best price.
This episode is a little different style than our typical interview or my solo podcasts that are scripted, but if you like me or at least like my stuff, I think you’ll dig it.
FYI, I reference a few slides of machines in my stories, so if you’re listening to this you’ll just have to use your imagination.
I hope you find a few little nuggets of wisdom in this.
It might help you avoid making a some of the mistakes I’ve made in the past when specking on old iron.
