For those who don't know Mason Tomaino, he is an employee at Jon Don Dallas.
Somehow, some way, Mason is selling 70 plus truckmounts set ups every year.
I first met him at last years CAD in Dallas while also in town for the Experience show. I think we immediately hit it off with our shared passion for the industry. I wanted to do an interview then but we ran out of time.
Here we are a year later and after a discussion today as to how we're planning a special event for next week, he agreed to be interviewed again..
so lets go..
-Did you get your start as a carpet cleaner?
-If not, how did you find your way into
this industry and what led you to Jon Don?
-Is there anyone else at Jon Don or any other supplier that comes close to the number of sales you produce?
-Besides using Facebook how are you finding all these carpet cleaners willing to spend top dollar for a new machine in Texas of all places. (home of EZ, Cobbs ChemTex and Amtex, all of whom sell units for nearly half the cost?)
-If you can do so well in that situation have you considered selling motor homes, time shares or real estate instead?
-Seeing how you sell Hydramaster, Prochem and Sapphire, all of which appear to be equally, just how do you go about not bad mouthing one over the other? Seems impossible, yet I see your praises being sung by all three companies.
-If a cleaner comes in with no prejudiced towards any of the three, and wants you to help him decide, how do you go about that?
-What percentage of sales is to new cleaners buying their first rig compared to veterans buying their 3rd. 8th or 20th set up?
-and who do you prefer to deal with?
-Slide In's compared to clutch driven, what are the sales numbers?
-How often does a cleaner ask for a fuel fired unit these days?
-With out pissing off one of your vendors, can you describe the ultimate truckmount set up in your opinion (Van/truck, unit size and location in the vehicle, accessories etc (in other words, if this interview gets you fired, what will you be out cleaning in next month?)
-What percentage of set ups are financed compared to paid for with all cash?
-What are the most common failures you see in a new truckmount? and what can a new owner do to prevent them?
-How much time do you spend with your newby clients assuring their success with their new 60K plus purchase? and how many attend SFS afterwords?
-What sort of schooling did you have to "master the sale"?
-At this point I imagine you could move to any city with a Jon Don location, have you considered getting out of that hell hole?
Thanks a lot Mason, keep up the great work and keep making this industry a better one!
