Induron Sales Team

Sales Retreat to Cancun: More in ’24!

By: Davies Hood, Induron President

Every year, the Induron sales team gathers for our annual Sales Meeting. This is not different from most every other successful organization, and usually these meetings consist of some hands-on product demonstration, goal setting for the team, and some sort of “rah-rah.” Whether that “rah-rah” is in the form of sharing successes or a classic halftime “chew-out” depends in part on how the last year went. This year, instead of a more traditional “sales meeting,” we decided to take the entire Induron team ALONG WITH THEIR spouses and significant other’s to a resort in Playa Mujeres (Cancun), Mexico.  Continue reading Sales Retreat to Cancun: More in ’24!

Contractor Connect V

By: Davies Hood, Induron President 

Contractor Connect PanelWay back in November of 2017,  I had the good fortune to participate in the very first Contractor Connect event hosted by PaintSquare/JPCL. The inaugural event was held at the Grand Hotel on the Mobile Bay right here in my home state of Alabama. Although the group was pretty small, I believe everyone in attendance saw the value and potential of an intimate, hosted event with representatives from leading coatings contracting firms, equipment manufacturers, abrasives companies and (of course) coatings manufacturers like myself. I particularly liked that first event because there were not many of Induron’s competitors in attendance AND I won the big fish contest. Continue reading Contractor Connect V
