Welcome to DealershipForum and thanks for creating an Introduction thread.
While the forum is still pretty small there's a great group of people here who have a tremendous amount of knowledge concerning all things automotive retail.
Based on your introduction some of our members may have a concern that you're a Factory Representative for an automotive OEM but I can assure them that's not the case.
(Your industry is heavy equipment - not automotive/light truck.)
Based on your career goals I can understand why you want to increase your network and understanding of the retail automotive business and I welcome you to the forum.
