- Very Interesting and it explains a lot about Camping World.
- Interesting article, he definitely is a driven man.
- By every measure of business he has been wildly successful
- So enlightening! Thanks for posting.
- He's definitely a great businessman, but he hasn't solved the most important issue that the majority of business suffers from.....getting your employee to give a c**p.
When you look at Camping World RV sales, there are lots all over the country. How does one person manage those effectively. You can't, so you have a bunch of stores full of people that have no investment in the company. - I like the part where one of his old classmates asked for his email address and Marcus basically told him to kiss his unowhat.

I truly believe that Marcus went around the country to every Walmart and stole each stores "greeter" so he could develop the Camping World workforce he now has. That really is my perception of the employees at Camping World -- they know nothing, but they try to make you feel welcome.
Bruce- It's not too hard to teach a worker how to pick fruit. But, it's almost impossible to teach a worker to be as knowledgable about RV,s as you and I.
Why would anybody want to learn RV's to go work at Campiing World anyway?
IMO Lemonis is doing good at hiring compromise employees. If somebody can do better, they should call him. - I would love to work at a Camping World, even if it was selling campers. But it would need to be the way most of us want it to be. Being honest, up front, and not just getting someone to sign on the dotted line. It might hurts sells to start with but wouldn't the long term reputation pay off in the end?
But what do I know? I'm just a common man. - Interesting. But the article was inaccurate in that it inferred that Marcus founded Camping World. Even CW's website doesn't suggest that.
