Azione Spotlights Trends, Best Practices on Opening Day of Spring Soiree

Buying group Azione Unlimited kicked off its spring meeting on March 17 with a day of sessions geared toward promoting business growth for its dealer members.

The conference, called the “Spring Soiree,” held at the Sheraton Downtown in Nashville, Tenn., began with an update on the group's recent growth from President/Founder Richard Glikes, who announced Azione has expanded its ranks and currently has 110 dealer members and 39 vendor members.

The opening session was a dealers-only meeting in which Glikes reiterated a point expressed at previous Azione meetings—that the dealers were not charging customers enough for their most valuable commodity: service.
