Talking Points:

• We attack each other based on emotions and not facts
• Does the supply industry know what they have to do to support the service professional?
• Found a youtube video on comparing spark plugs from two different sourcesThe reviewer checked with the supplier and discovered that the Amazon plugs were counterfeit
• Andy posted on a social media groupThe rub is how someone stood up for a product’s quality especially if the national manufacturer said it was counterfeit. Why would a national company stake its reputation on a false claim
• We are helping each other more and more.
• Too many still are critiquing and criticizing each other and this doesn’t help in a positive way
• Andy is not going to respond to negative commentary anymore
• We need to move ahead and be more progressive
