TruVideo was a lifesaver. Honestly, they kept people employed here, no joke. With TruVideo, the customer gets to see first hand what needs to be done.”
WELLESLEY, MASSACHUSETTS, USA, February 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new case study by TruVideo shows how an accidental text during the grim start of Covid ended up being a huge bright spot for a Toyota Forklift Dealership, Southern Material Handling Company, and TruVideo alike. In Tulsa, Oklahoma during the beginning of Covid when all nonessential business was shutting down and directly impacting the material handling business, Southern Material Handling Company remained open to service the essential businesses. They saw a significant drop in overall business as safety guidelines cautioned against in-person service calls. Steve Belmear, VP General Manager, was sitting in his office when one of his salespeople walked in and showed him a text that was accidentally sent from a local Nissan automobile dealership. The text was a video using the TruVideo platform of a salesperson explaining a vehicle. After watching the video, he realized that this might just be the solution they needed during this time.— Steve Belmear - VP General Manager - Southern Material Handling Company
