Dealer Spotlight: Anchor Marine

"We have completely renovated our showroom and service department," Tony says, "And the makeover doesn't stop there. We are striving to achieve a level of excellence not commonly seen in this industry. The whole presentation needs to be sterile, unlike any other, in every aspect."

Some of Tony's words to describe his business plan include, professionalism, competitive prices, fast and dependable service, and exceptional customer relations.

"You would be amazed at the surprise in customer's voices on the telephone when I call our customers and say, 'I just wanted to follow-up and make sure my team did a good job for you.' Some customers pause for lack of words, they're just not used to receiving calls like this."

Tony says Anchor's continued success will hinge on pro-active business strategies. "In this day and in these economic conditions you cannot afford to wait for something to happen and then react to it. It takes a special focused effort in every aspect of the business the general appearance of the showroom and shop, competitive rates and prices, the staff must be bright and well-trained, anxious to provide the very best buying and service experience the customer has ever received."
