The End Of The Day With Ray! When Media & Consultants Endorse KMBS Without Context It's An Issue!
In today's episode I strongly question what I see as endorsements from industry consultants and media regarding Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S. The dealers deserve more advocacy from the industry consultants and anyone who claims they stand with dealers. As share content from some of these industry leaders ask yourself do they really care what's going on or are they just so comfortable pandering it doesn’t matter to them what's going on? I am also concerned that the BTA is quickly losing its position as an advocacy for dealers. I am fearfully that the complacency that comes with comfort is crippling the associations power.
