Sales Tip: Organize tools by category and shop

Aug. 2, 2023
When organizing your truck, it's important to keep the customer in mind. Keeping your tools organized by category and type of shop can help make their buying experience run smoothly.

When it comes to organizing and displaying all the tools and equipment, tool distributor Pat Burns not only groups them by category but also tries to keep the stock separated by shop – heavy duty, automotive, collision, etc. He notes that this way the customer can see everything in one area, and he’s able to easily find the products too.
