Distributors Share Thoughts After Training
Group distributor training sessions are regular events at HEIDENHAIN’s North American headquarters in Schaumburg, IL, and assist many with selling HEIDENHAIN on a daily basis. Here are just a few of the comments made by HEIDENHAIN distributors when asked about their favorite part after completing a two-and-a-half-day session:
“Linear installation and DRO hands-on. Basic theory was very well presented. Portal walk-thru will prove to be very useful.”
“All information was helpful for new products.”
“Most important info was presented during hands-on activities. Best way to retain info!”
“How and where to go for information needed to resolve a customer’s request.”
“The application uses & ideas. As a traveling salesman, I now have more info to better cover my territory.”
“Comparing the old, current and new controls. The programming sequences. The tuning procedure.”
“Features / benefits of product, as compared to competitors.”
“The supplier portal, meeting all the necessary people within the organization.”
“Knowing what type of machines products are used in and their functions.”
“Equipment description and application examples.”
“Hands-on workbook exercises and product demos.”
“The information that was related to our industry, linear encoders, DROs, etc. Metrology is something we would like to get into and have a little knowledge about.”
