- Gaining a deeper understanding of the operational processes involved in a rental transaction
- Recognizing the profitability impact of a well-designed, efficiently operated rental fleet and how it can boost profits for your dealership
- Understanding that all machines don’t yield the same amount of profit and it requires experience to develop a profitable blend of machines in your fleet
Who should attend:
