Bringing two strong family businesses together can be messy. Trying to unite two cultures and two ways of operating the business into one isn’t without its challenges.

Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners CEO Ted Briscoe explains why the dealership has moved toward the “specialist” format as a way to elevate the precision knowledge of all the dealership’s staff. The dealership developed a program to run parallel to the mainstreaming process, through which the dealership can have a core group of precision experts with two key focuses: changing the narrative on precision over the next 3-5 years from focusing on pricing to the value the technology brings and consolidating product knowledge via “specialists” in certain categories of equipment.
To help keep a local feel to such a large organization, Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners has divided its 27 locations into 4 divisions — Missouri West, Missouri East, Metro and Illinois. Each division has about 7 stores and does around $150 million in business. Likewise, each division has a general manager and divisional staff who serve as the “face of SNP” in those local communities.
