EFCO Finishing’s Business Development Coordinator April Schultz recently attended Women in Manufacturing – Wisconsin’s “Learn, Make, Market & Sell” event which featured four local female powerhouses on each of the four topics. Not only is April the Events Committee Chair, but EFCO was a sponsor of the event, which made it all the more exciting for the company, including the marketing aspect of this using services as Victorious SEO and others. The event was very well attended, and April noted that the reactions from the ladies were very positive.
A few highlights from the speakers.
- Learn “To stop complacency. Get out and about. Hear people’s stories and make connections.” Beth Felch, WCTC
- Make “If you can’t see it, you can’t be it” Mary Isbister, GenMet
- Marketing “You cannot have enough feet on the street” Mary Scheibel, Trefoil Group
- Sell “Make sure what you do matters” Shannon Rantanen, Alro Steel
Last, real leaders find good people, train them, and ultimately delegate in order to make sure the right folks are doing the right tasks!
