With an ever-expanding customer base, Scott Maroney, an independent dealer based in Largo, Florida, is working on time management to optimize his route.
“It’s always evolving,” Maroney says of his route. “I really try not to add too many new stores, unless it’s a really good customer and they moved to a new place. A lot of times I run out of time by the end of the day. It’s 4:30 or 5 o’clock and I’ve still got five or six places to go.”
Maroney tries to make about 20 stops per day (less if he’s stopping at dealerships, with more customers). To avoid later evenings, Maroney has adapted by evaluating some of his stops, opting to stop on a less frequent basis.
“What I’ve learned, for me to see more customers, I put them on a two-week rotation,” Maroney says.
