Education of Employees

I think there should be a program for instructing new employees on the finer points of RVing. While recently making a purchase at the local CW we mentioned to the sales clerk that we had just returned from the Mass Samboree. The blank look on her face was confirmed that she didn't have the slightest idea what a Samboree was.

    Why would you mention it, and why should she care where you just returned from?

    Ummmm, would you expect the cashier at your local grocery store to know how to prepare all the food in your cart?


    That's not a grocery store cashier's job. Their job is to ring up prices, collect money and be able to tell you store specials and where to find products.

    In sales, a salesperson is responsible for product knowledge. I've said it many times. I walk into a showroom and the salespersons are shooting the bull. They should be sitting in a product, reading its manual and arming themselves for prospective buyer questions.

    When I can go into a dealer and show the saleperson how to setup a Trailmanor, Aliner, Chalet because they're not sure, I picked the wrong dealer.

    It's like a leaking rv, "run, run, run".
