Episode 10: Artisan Elements with Trevor Tipton
In this episode we interview Trevor Tipton who is the owner of Artisan Elements in Scottsdale Arizona.
We had a great time with Trevor. He is a custom pool builder who does it right. He lives by his core values and principles to teach and educate customers on what they are buying. He understands that the product he provides is a lot of money and focuses on giving the clients the ultimate backyard experience.
He has a great sales background and their is a ton of information on sales in this episode. He teaches us how to educate instead of taking a used car salesman approach. We think you will get a lot out of this segment as we did ourselves.
We discuss many other topics such as organization, social media, analytics, Pentair, Jandy, virtual reality, and his recommended books and podcasts.
This episode is jam packed with valuable content, so we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
