This morning, CEO visited the new Zoomers RV location in Ina. Zoomers is a business that is passionate about family and focuses on the luxury side of life. Zoomers has locations in three states: Iowa, Indiana and Illinois and pride themselves on providing the best deal in the RV market. Our young entrepreneurs heard from COO J.D. Adams on all things business and how he worked his way up from the bottom. He took the group through a deep dive on the financials of the company including inventory, sales, the impact of interest rates and profit margins to give students an idea of the financial reality of business. Mr. Adams spoke about the implications of a “that’s not my job” attitude and how to avoid it. We wrapped up the visit with a tour of the location and RV's to see the type of work Zoomers performs.

J.D. shared many valuable business tips with the group:
✅Transparency is key with business and customers
✅Word of mouth can be a killer for companies
✅If you don't zone out your company you won't truly know where you are making your money
✅People are one of the hardest things to manage
✅The first 5 years are make it or break it for a business

"You are doing your job if you are offering a good deal, good product and good service. If you do those three things you will win and you don't have to focus on your competition." Thank you to JD for the in depth business visit this morning!
