But, as I processed that, I started to wonder what the "rest of the story" was. Would someone who owns a big roofing company really move into a development for retired folks when there are so many family villages ? Or, is "Brent" really a retired person working part time as so many do, as a representative for this company, maybe commissioned for each fellow villager they can sign up ? I have no idea, but it does sound like a good marketing plan for an roofing (or other) company. Hire a sales rep that is a (semi ?) retired villager, it implies without stating it, hey, you are going to be golfing, playing bocci or pickle-ball, going to socials and club meetings with this person, so the potential customer could make the leap to the thought that this is a person you live and socialize with, so safety in that ? I have no idea. but if I had a company, and wanted to really promote trust, sounds to me like being able to say, ---------- company, owned by a villager, etc. etc. That could be an advantage, but it could also mean absolutely nothing ! ?
I agree. And I believe that some customers come off as more friendly than others but as you say...That could mean absolutely nothing. I am very skeptical about all roofers these days. I do hope that folks don't get suckered in. Our insurance fees are higher than kites now.
