Although, let’s be honest, WHAT you know is pretty dang important, too.
But you’ll be glad to know that we know the people who make the products and equipment you need.
At our 2nd annual Field Marketing Summit held March 24th, the Binkelman team met with representatives from top manufacturers, including Continental, Dodge, Flexco, PPI, Martin Sprocket, Nord, Beltservice, Nachi and Toshiba.
The day’s entertainment included a strolling clown who juggled radial shaft seals.
“We prioritize partnering with the manufacturers because those relationships allow us to serve our customers better,” said Binkelman’s Rebecca Conrad. “Our team learns so much during the Summit, and we share our customers’ needs and concerns with the manufacturer’s reps. Those relationships also allow us easier access to technical and application support when needed.”
During the event, a caricaturist created funny drawings of attendees absorbing knowledge.
Jeff Markovicz from Nachi wrote that “the Field Marketing Summit was an exceptionally productive day of planning. The one-on-one sessions were a good review in how we can win together by serving your customers.”
The indoor fireworks display was probably not a great idea, though, especially since it was right above that pile of oily rags.
Continental’s Regan Koski wrote, “Many thanks for including Continental last week during the Binkelman Field Marketing Summit. We have the type of partnership that facilitates productive, solution-focused, value-added conversations. Continental is proud to partner with Binkelman, and we look forward to growing together in 2022.”
Many attendees have faxed compliments about the catered lunch, which included all-you-can-eat bologna sandwiches and an endless river of creamed corn.
