Application Workshop.
A 2008 survey by Purchasing magazine revealed that only 21
percent of buyers rate their distributors as “excellent”
when it comes to technical support. Equip your sales and support
staff with the technical knowledge they need to bring value to your
customers. PTDA’s Product Application Workshop
allows your sales personnel to experience first-hand the application
basics of power transmission products.
Conducted in a classroom/hands-on lab environment with actual
products, this three-day workshop will give attendees an understanding
of the components utilized in typical industrial applications and
processes so they can better assess and solve customers'
problems.
What You’ll Learn

productivity and uptime.
- Understanding how the components are utilized in typical industrial
applications.
- Assessing and solving customers' open-ended problems through an

This is exactly the kind of training I was looking for when I was
a new hire, and could still benefit from it. To be able to use the
products in real applications is a great idea and offers a unique, more
effective learning experience than traditional training styles. I
think this type of training would take our customer service to the next
level because we would have hands-on product and trouble shooting
experience to speak from as well as more comprehensive
understanding of the products we sell.
