Enhance Your Market Position Using EASA’s Recommended Practices
Sunday, June 24, 2012 - 10:00am - 11:30am
Do customers and prospects view your company as just another EASA repair facility? Not sure? The most successful EASA members have learned to position their businesses in a way that is not like all others.
How do they achieve this uniqueness? It’s not through fancy marketing, Web sites or slick-talking salespeople. Rather, it is a business strategy that provides superior service by demonstrating adherence to EASA’s recommended practices. Note: This is not a technical session. It is a strategic marketing session that will illustrate how your company can enhance customer value. Some of the EASA standards to be addressed include:
- ANSI/EASA AR100-2010: Recommended Practice for the Repair of Rotating Electrical Apparatus
- The Effect of Repair/Rewinding on Motor Efficiency: EASA/AEMT Rewind Study and Good Practice Guide to Maintain Efficiency
- Root Cause Failure Analysis
