Last week, Braun Industries, Inc. was proud to host our National Sales Meeting. Held October 4th - 6th, our ambulance dealers gathered together in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Van Wert, Ohio. It was an exciting event and we were pleased to have all of our valued business partners there with us. To check out photos, please visit the gallery on our Facebook page.

The ambulance dealers in attendance included: Autotronics, Bulldog Fire, North Eastern Rescue Vehicles, All Area Fire Rescue, First Priority Emergency Vehicles, Penn Care, Keystone Emergency Vehicles, Life Star Rescue, Southeastern Specialty Vehicles, First Class Fire, Ten- 8 Fire, Lone Star Emergency Vehicles, LTG Fire and Emergency Vehicles, Fire Guard, North Central Ambulance Sales & Service, Max Fire, and Fire Fighting Innovations. The National Sales Meeting is a time where our entire dealer network can get together to learn what's new at Braun Industries, check out advances in our ambulance models and innovations, network with one another, and much more. Over the years, we've found it to be an extremely valuable event in the success of Braun Industries and our ambulance dealers.

The agenda was jam packed with different speakers and training sessions. The keynote speaker was Bob Butler from Butler Learning Systems. Butler Learning Systems provides sales training, consulting, leadership develop and service excellence. By providing advanced sales training at our meeting, we hope to arm our dealer network with the skills need to successfully market and sell our high quality, custom handcrafted ambulance models.

We were most excited to unveil our new Model Year 2012 ambulance demo units with the latest innovations.  This was a highlight of the National Sales Meeting for our ambulance dealers as well. We look forward to sharing them with the public soon. So... stay tuned!

Also in attendance were some of our valued business partners. These vendors joined us for a reception last Wednesday evening. We were pleased to have the follow companies and representatives with us: Whelen – Paul Deming, Weldon -- Jeff McKitrick, Federal Signal – Tony Angelella, Technique – Kevin Kyle, Stryker – Joan Martin, Ferno – Jim West, Selking International – John Selking/Creighton Pritzlaff, Spartan – Josh Fullerton, Advantage Funding – Judy Gohlsen, Republic First National – Angie Deming, Serenity Safety – Dan Sjoquist.
