Leading marine blind and shading specialists, Oceanair, has recently held a series of seminars and presentations to enhance both the product and technical knowledge of their new Florida dealers.
Immersing the new dealers into the world of Oceanair, the seminar topics covered all of Oceanair’s products from powered blind systems to re-fit solutions. The aim of the seminars was to arm each dealer with the necessary knowledge and understanding, with particular concentration on the technical aftermarket area, to confidently sell Oceanair throughout Florida.
The training course was led by Oceanair’s UK Technical Expert, Tom Pickles, alongside Oceanair’s US Vice President Sales & Marketing Brian Clark and US Regional Manager Tim McNulty. The attending companies (Argonautica Custom Yacht Interiors, Hipps & Company, Bay Area Marine, Tip Top Canvas and Canvas Designers) are all now ‘re-fit experts’ for Oceanair and were all presented with an official Oceanair US Dealer certificate upon completion of the training.
The US market has great potential for Oceanair and in line with their growth strategy for the US market, the training seminars in Florida mark just the beginning, as Oceanair plan to work from state to state to further train existing dealers and appoint new ones.
