June 26, 2017 – Source: ERA
The Florida-Sunshine Chapter hosted a multi-tiered rep and distributor “DTAM” program on June 5, 2017. Thirty two people were in attendance and the event was a hit among all attendees.
The program consisted of a presentation about ERA and its value from Walter Tobin, ERA CEO. There was also a session about the “Rep and Distributor Collaboration” presented by ERA Consultant Cesare Giammarco. Lastly, the annual Florida DTAM Report was presented by Barry Farber of HHP and Lisa Dietrich of Conley and Associates.
“Having the opportunity to have Walter Tobin personally speak to each chapter along with Cesare Giammarco’s excellent discussion and insights on manufacturers’ perspectives is essential to all chapters and members who are looking to boost their membership, education and activity within the ERA organization,” said Seth Brock of CBC Electronics. “By packaging our annual DTAM Report into the evening, we got more bang for our buck and drew great interest from the distributors in our region as well. All in all, it was a very successful evening for the Sunshine Chapter.”
Tobin added, “It was a GREAT DTAM session! I found the process and attention to detail most impressive. A job well done by the Florida-Sunshine Chapter!”
