Foundation Repair Contractors Attend Management Training in Connecticut
More than 20 foundation repair contractors from along the East Coast braved the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy to attend Management Training in Seymour, Connecticut in mid-October. Managers from varying departments such as sales, call center, marketing and production attended the event, along with company owners. Participants spent time examining their own leadership style and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses inherent to those styles. Attendees also studied an extensive hiring process focused on bringing the best talent on board, evaluated their different types of employees and how to manage them best, and learned how to create simple but effective systems for orienting new hires. Finally, each department was examined in terms of operating efficiently and key performance metrics.
Marketing Training Held at East Coast Dealer Support Facility
More than 20 owners and marketing managers attended the newest training offering from Foundation Supportworks — “Residential Marketing Training.” Residential Marketing Training examines effective marketing strategies for varying sized businesses, from small and start-up businesses to companies that exceed $5 million in sales. The participants evaluated a multitude of creative ways to generate leads at an allowable cost, such as grass-roots, guerrilla marketing techniques to techniques that would not only generate 
leads but also build brand awareness in associated markets. The course also provided an opportunity for attendees to set goals, determine annual and monthly marketing budgets, and analyze the results of marketing expenditures to adjust future strategies. Residential Marketing Training was held at the Foundation Supportworks east coast dealer support facility in Seymour, Connecticut to allow for easier access for those dealer offices located on the east coast. The same course will be offered again at the corporate headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska in December of this year.
