“ACDRP
operates one of the highest ranked websites for those
seeking ‘CorelDRAW help,’”says John McDaniel,
association president.
“Many
people won’t normally find suppliers via their own websites
unless hunting for a specific product or service. Having a
link from CorelDRAWHelp magazine benefits suppliers
by making CorelDRAW users aware of their products and
services. Every company providing products and services to
CorelDRAW graphics users should take advantage of this
opportunity. Where else in this industry can you advertise
for $100 a month and get more than 30,000 exposures?
Moreover, since the magazine is digital, these links live
forever! Where else can you get such a value?”

R.S.
Owens Launches
In-House Training Program
R.S. Owens, a leading awards and promotional
products manufacturer from Chicago, IL, introduced
an in-house training program for all its inside
sales and customer service representatives to
provide hands-on experience for every manufacturing
and imprinting process the company offers. The
purpose of this effort is to enable reps to better
address customer questions and issues by enhancing
their understanding of casting, polishing,
electroplating, sandblasting, screen printing, and
the myriad other processes performed in their
Chicago factory . The program was initiated by
company president Scott Siegel, MAS.
“This idea occurred to me,” says Siegel, “when I
was reading an article about how world class
operations cross train their sales employees to
understand the fulfillment process of manufactured
goods, from procurement to final shipping. Our reps
all have internal and external training in customer
service, but we are now taking their training to the
next level by giving them hands-on experience in
manufacturing and imprinting. We have more
manufacturing and imprinting processes than ever,
and hands-on training where our reps actually run a
laser engraver or pour an 800 degree metal casting
will help them better understand what we need to do
to provide the best in quality and service. I’ve
only done a few processes when I worked in the
factory growing up, so I’m looking forward to
participating in this program myself, as well as
having my top managers participate.”
