The SEFA Board of Directors has made education and training a priority in 2012 -- and they are starting the new year out with a terrific management conference in Charleston, SC. 
 
Frank Briercheck, Vice President of Sales for Phenix Supply will be on hand to present "Legendary Customer Service Starts at the Counter".  Jon Meijer, DLI Vice President of Member Services, and Peter Blake, SEFA Director of Membership Development, will team up to explore Social Media and Marketing in Today's Competitive Marketplace.
 
SEFA will also have James Peuster leading "Management Training for the 21st Century".  Before James came to prominence as the leading expert on Route Development, he served as a national training manager.  He will use this experience to guide participants through the management process.  Learning how and when to delegate.  Knowing how to motivate employees. Participants will learn ways to stop being a fire fighter, and become a fire preventer.

Easy-to-Do Ideas that Work -- Try Them! 

jeans press Pressing Jeans Make you Tense?

 

After Years of struggling and stretching the legs of laundered Dockers and jeans, I decided to install a tensioning pants topper in the laundry pressing station. I leave the pants on the topper until they are dry, and finish the legs on the laundry hot head. The legs lay flat and are easily pressed with very little hassle. My finisher has been pressing laundered pants for many years and has NEVER been happier since I installed the tensioning legger. There is also a drycleaning legger in this station for items that require a lighter finish. This system worked great for military fatigue pants as well.
