In Gases And Welding, Training Equals Success


How manufacturer-sponsored training leads to increased sales.

Dewitt, NY:

As part of its continued effort to highlight the positive benefits of close partnerships between manufacturers and distributors in the gases and welding industry, the Fourth Quarter issue of Welding & Gases Today features an article highlighting several "Training Success Stories." The article, called "Training For Dollars," highlights four examples of manufacturer-sponsored training leading to increased distributor sales in the field.

The article states that across every industry, the truly successful people are those who never stop learning. The gases and welding industry is certainly no exception. With advances in technology occurring at an ever-increasing pace, the article claims that it is more important than ever for distributor salespeople to pursue training opportunities. A properly trained employee is a prepared employee.

According to the article, perhaps the most effective form of training doesn't have to be expensive or slick. It can come from relying on a trusted manufacturer partner. Whether on-site or off-site, hands-on or classroom, manufacturer-sponsored training programs are an invaluable resource for gases and welding salespeople. On the following pages you will find several examples of manufacturers and distributors partnering for training and the success it breeds. The Training Success Stories exemplify the true spirit of the distributor/manufacturer partnerships that are at the core of the GAWDA experience.
