Michael Roloff, the Chief Executive Officer of Rental Pal, sports gear, when you want it joins Enterprise Radio.  A newer concept today is to rent sports gear all through geotargeting with an app with Rental Pal.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is in association with the Mobile App Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Michael Roloff discuss the following:

1. Please describe Rental Pal in your own words. How was the company first founded?
2. What are the benefits of renting equipment over purchasing?
3. Describe how the site works?
4. What type of gear can you rent on the site?
5. Are there any competitors in the marketplace and why do you believe Rental Pal is a disruptor to the industry?
6. What about safety. Is it safe to rent equipment from strangers or what is your advice to those that may be nervous about renting equipment via an app?
7. You also have a program where you help business owners rent sports equipment. What are the benefits for store owners using Rental Pal?
8. For those who are starting new businesses, is there any advice you can provide from your own experience to ensure that the business is off to the right start?
