I want to Thank you again for the opportunity to join RBA at the Spec Shaman Summit. The attendee group was sensational. Most importantly the objectives were met eloquently. I can not place a time or event that I have ever received the amount of valuable information with various perspectives. Roy and Craig were sensational. The USGBC Rep and the (2) Architects input was so powerful. This is 5 Star stuff - I'm so glad another door manufacturer was not present - this is leg up information! Well done.

 The LEED Rating system has been around for twenty years. In 2013, the latest rating system LEED v4 was launched. Yet, many building product reps are completely in the dark when it comes to LEED and the specification opportunities it offers.

 “Let’s talk about something important! Put that coffee down! Coffee’s for closers only,” said tough guy Blake in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. You either made the sale or didn’t. No one cares why you didn’t bring in the deal. No one cares about why an architect didn’t specify your product. |
