Wow, I was wondering about the women in the industry.. glad to see a couple here. I am Lynda and have been in the industry since 1979.. yeah old timer now. We have sold and serviced many brands over the years, starting out as hot tub coopers and installing in-ground spas and pools. We left all of that in 1989 and concentrated on portables.
We have been a Hot Spring dealer since 1980, one of their first and have two stores, one in Santa Cruz and one in San Jose. Like many of you we have won numerous awards over the years, including Aqua 100 and are proud to be recognized for our efforts. Putting customers needs first has helped us create a loyal following.
I have contributed to a number of articles for our trade magazines over the years mainly about customer service, creating professionalism in our industry and sharing marketing ideas.
I hope I can learn and assist in these discussions. I am amazed with the caliber of professionals on this forum. Great work. [smiley=bath.gif]
SpaConnection:
Good Afternoon! I have been in the Spa industry since 1985. I started out as a tech, then in sales, and now own my own company that mostly sells refurbished tubs. When I worked with a company here in Colorado Springs, I noticed around 2006 that people just stopped buying tubs. I took a few classes at the college and finished my degree and decided that in this economy, refurbished was the way to go. People all over are cutting back on expenses and if I can help them out while still making a living, it benefits both of us. I am not in this business to become rich. I love what I do, and helping people and informing them about the different makes, models, and features of hot tubs/spas makes my day brighter. We are located in Colorado and serve all of Colorado and neighboring states. If you have a question, feel free to drop me a line. Feel free to check out our website as well since we have many FAQ's from the past 25 years on there.
Happy Tubbing!!!!
Peteyboy:
Hello All.
My name is Pete. Peteyboy is my nickname from my step-daughter. I have been a HotSpring Tech since 1987. Wow, I think I'm old now. I'll service any brand but know the most about Watkins products, Jacuzzi & Sundance.
Our store has been selling & servicing HotSpring since 1993 in Melbourne, Florida.
This forum is great. Many great techs helping people. I learn a lot also.
Leisureworks:
My name is Kreg. I started in the business as a lab technition at one of the country's largest Hot Spring dealers. I still see those little bags of water in my nightmares! I worked my way from the very-bottom to eventually being in management at this Hot Spring dealer. Top Gun trained by Watkins. That was fifteen years ago! Wow!
I opened my store, Leisure Works, in 2001. We have sold primarily Master Spas' family of products, as well as Tropitone casual furniture, pools, gazebos, saunas, and all the goodies that go with them. I have a passion for the industry as a whole, and I will always lend a helping hand to those who are searching for knowledge. Heck, I'm still learning too.
There is a good group of knowledgable folks on this board, and even though we may not always agree with each other, I am sure all of our goals are similiar. Keep your customers happy by treating them with the respect, appreciation, and service they deserve.
