Annual Owner’s Meeting Brings Sun, Fun and Lots of Good Conversation

Owners across the Foundation Supportworks dealer network recently attended the 2010 Owner’s Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. We had a record turnout at this year’s event, with more than 60 dealer offices represented and well over 150 attendees. Wow!

It’s not very often that a group of owners are able to get together, share successes, get advice about common challenges, learn about new tools available, and strengthen the connection they feel to one another. One can really feel the power of a network at these events.
Foundation Supportworks presented on topics such as the commitment necessary to become involved commercial sales and marketing, management training topics, new helical products and their capacities, ICC progress, soil nails, new presentation tools for home inspectors, and more.
The Owner’s Meeting gave attendees some much welcomed sunshine, some great laughs, and most importantly, lots of good insight on how to reach new levels of success within their business!
