How did you learn
about the brand?
I had been a BCI dealer for 8 years and BCI corporate
asked us if we wanted to be the official dealer for our territory. Since two of
our major product lines are windows and BCI products, we decided becoming the
official dealer was a great fit for our business.
What was appealing
to you about joining a dealer system?
The systems BCI corporate provides us are great – the
website for Bath Planet is very user-friendly. The quality and strict
guidelines for dealers, as well as the rigorous structure we need to follow as
dealers, fits with the high quality of service we like to provide our
customers.
What makes your
business different?
We are extremely high on quality and we have a high
number of retained business with our clients. I personally go on job sites and
am heavily invested in my business. We have an A-plus rating with the Better
Business Bureau, in addition to a great team and staff.
How do you connect
with the local community through your business?
We do things with a number of charities. We have recently
worked with The Lions Club and are working to help the blind.
What challenges
have you overcome to get where you are now?
Just adjusting and adapting to the economy.
What are your
expansion or development plans?
Our goal with Bath Planet is to continue to develop the
area between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.
Do you have any
other interesting hobbies or passions?
I love to fish whenever I get
the chance and I’m a die-hard Packers fan! I like the outdoors and spending
time with my family.
