As a fuel retailer, it pays to know your partner well. When you do business with a jobber, or a petroleum marketer, it’s important to know as much as possible about that company. You need to know if the fuel supplier is trustworthy, knowledgeable and focused on your success.
Some questions to ask:
– How long has the petroleum marketer been in the business? Experience is key in an ever-changing industry.
– How big are they and how many stations do they supply? A bigger fuel supplier has better buying power.
– Does the jobber have good financing options? A good company can make it easier for you to get the backing you need.
“In most cases, we are able to negotiate a lot better deals with the oil companies because of our branding power and size,” says Ashley Hall, Marketing Director at Southeast Petro.
Southeast Petro is a jobber that can get the best rebates and incentives to brand your location thanks to their negotiating power.
Among the things Southeast Petro offers are multiple stores for sale or lease to get you started in the industry. They provide innovative financing solutions you won’t find elsewhere. Southeast Petro also offers a number of quality brands that can bring the best value to your location, whether it’s a well-known oil company, a franchised convenience store or a quick-serve restaurant.
Like any good fuel supplier, Southeast Petro also provides a number of services. Among them are educational opportunities for store owners, from training seminars to helping you learn your brand to on-site consultations to help you identify more ways to make a profit.
They will also set you and your store up with branded fleet, consumer and loyalty programs that will keep customers coming back, and save you money in third-party credit card fees.
The education continues on the jobber’s website, where articles and resources help you survive and be successful in the industry.
