Hello to all:
I am new to the horse trailer business and I am trying to get educated fast!! I think this is a great web site to find dealers who sell Horse Trailers, as well other good info. I need to learn the language,terms etc...
Any suggestions??
I am in sales and looking forward to a new and exciting industry.
Thanks
Dan

Welcome. Actually not everything is absolutely correct on here. Sometimes you have to look at your own situation and apply it as such. It is a wealth of information though. I know that I have been trailering for way to many years to count, but I always try to go into any thread thinking I may learn something.

I don't know what brand (s) you will be selling; but when I started selling; I was fortunate to immediately go to a week long sales training that was put on by Sundowner Trailers. I have gone thru their course three times over the past 12 years, and it is one of the most extensive training sessions in the trailer industry. Go to shows, cuttings, reining, dressage, hunter jumper events, trail rides; or any event that has horse people at. You will know very soon,the lingo and what works, and doesn't work. Good luck to you; it is fun work if you work hard at it.

Well just remember to say YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT WILL FIND OUT...rather than trying to blow smoke at the customer, because some customers are very knowledgeable...
