WEFTEC Report
Shelter Works attended the Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition & Conference (WEFTEC) show in New Orleans at the beginning of October after conducting a pre-WEFTEC show webinar for reps in the water and waste water industries. John Miller, Director of Sales and Operations, was able to host breakfasts and information sessions with over 20 reps from around the country. He explains, "It was a great opportunity to connect with our representatives from all around the Country at one time, discuss their challenges, and talk about the exciting changes Shelter Works is initiating to provide greater support to them and increased value to their clients. We're setting the stage for greater interaction and support that will be rolled out over the next few months." Miller also had the chance to meet with a few potential reps in other areas to expand our service even further.
