Brought His 14 Team Members to Vision – Travis Troy [RR 726]
I asked Travis Troy, point-blank, what did it cost him to take his entire team to Vision this year. I talked to so many shop owners at Vision KC 2022 that closed their shops to take their entire team for some of the best training and networking both Technician, Service and Management. I stopped counting at 30 the number of shop owners who closed their shops there had to be 100 or more based on my simple survey results.

Travis and his partner Josh know they’ll get a huge return on their training investment. The message: get out of your comfort zone.
