Another Look: Trochu Motors
On Wednesday night, a farmer in Alberta tweeted an unusual dose of heartfelt praise in our direction about his Massey Ferguson dealer, Trochu Motors. We told him to say hi to Jack & Landis Stankievech for us and the back-forth messages that ensued ended up with the sharing of “Our Dealer Story” podcast about the large, 1-store dealership. If you missed the podcast the first time, here’s the chat with Landis and the opportunity the Rhodes Scholar and global business consultant saw that caused him to leave his fast-track career to join the business in rural Canada.
