Whether you’re in wireless, smart home security, internet, TV, or solar, this podcast brings you real-world stories, expert tips, and the tools to help your business thrive. 

Check out the latest episode of the RS&I Dealer Download Podcast. Today, we’re talking about one of the biggest challenges facing businesses nationwide: labor supply and what it means for Authorized Dealers.

Immigration policy changes, a shrinking workforce, and rising labor costs are creating real pressure on companies across the country. For RS&I Authorized Dealers, these shifts can be turned into an advantage. In this episode, we break down:

- Why the U.S. labor market is tightening and what is driving the change

- How fewer workers and higher costs impact sales reps, installers, and business growth

- Action steps you can take now, from recruiting locally to using RS&I resources and highlighting affordable solutions like AT&T wireless, HughesNet internet, and Brightspeed fiber

For independent dealers, the ability to stay lean, flexible, and community-focused can make all the difference.
