Free Webinar: Help For LBM Dealers Planning Contractor Education Events
One big win-win for building material dealers and their contractor customers is offering contractor education. By helping contractors improve their businesses, and advance the trade skills of their employees, contractors can do more business and improve profitability. If the contractor can increase the amount of business he or she does, the supplier benefits as well because that contractor will likely need to buy more products and services from the dealer. Helping contractors grow their business is also a great way for LBM dealers to initiate and expand upon the creation of mutually beneficial relationships with their contractor customers.
For suppliers and manufacturers, planning a successful educational event for contractors takes a lot of work and time. Many factors go into planning, promoting and executing an event that will provide value for the attendees, the dealer as well as any event sponsors. However, if planned and executed correctly, educational events for contractors will not only attract attendees for the first time, the events should also make attendees want to keep coming back for more!
If you are a LBM dealer thinking about holding your first educational event, or want to improve results at your next event, consider attending an upcoming webinar I will be presenting on April 11th, 2013 titled “Planning and Delivering Educational Events to Maximize Your ROI” The webinar will be hosted by BuilderLink.
