The Spinning Wheels peer group recently rolled into Franklin, Tenn
The Driving Results peer group Spinning Wheels recently met in Franklin, Tenn., leaving an indelible mark on the participants as they came together to foster innovation, share insights, and strengthen industry bonds. Hosted by Signature Transportation, an operator with deep roots in the Nashville area, the event brought together members from across the United States for a dynamic exchange of ideas and best practices.
According to Spinning Wheels facilitators Arthur and Kathy Messina, the heart of the event centered around collaborative brainstorming and knowledge sharing, with participants engaging in discussions that covered a spectrum of vital topics, including sales strategies, sales training methodologies, and technology. An addition to this year's event was the exploration of ChatGPT, a cutting-edge technology poised to revolutionize the way businesses operate.
The Prevost service center in Goodlettsville, Tenn., hosted the Spinning Wheels group
The Messinas also stated that laughter and camaraderie were abundant as attendees savored sumptuous meals while forging new connections and strengthening existing relationships. However, the learning experience extended beyond the conference room walls, with two site visits enhancing participants' further understanding of how companies set up and operate their businesses.
The first of these site visits brought the group to the Prevost service center in Goodlettsville, Tenn. Attendees had the privilege to witness firsthand the high-quality service and maintenance for luxury vehicles and motorcoaches that the popular manufacturer provides.

The second site visit, hosted by Signature Transportation, provided a unique opportunity for participants to interact with the company's dedicated staff, gaining insight into its operations and service philosophy. These interactions facilitated engaging discussions and knowledge sharing that will undoubtedly contribute to each attendee's business growth, according to the Messinas.
After a successful stop in the Volunteer State, the next Spinning Wheels meeting will be hosted in Charleston, S.C., at the end of November for another multi-day event featuring innovation, collaboration, and industry and personal advancement.
