IFI bringing its top stars to Vegas
With plans being finalized and
registration underway, IFI’s third
Five-Star Management Seminar is scheduled for February 26 and
27 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
Although geared toward larger-scale
cleaners and the issues they face, the seminar is open to any
IFI member looking for better business ideas on how to survive
in today’s market. Centered on employee issues, the
program will feature case studies and helpful advice on
employee relations and increasing production.
The program was selected based on input
received from attendees of the 2003 Five-Star Seminar. IFI
seeks to tailor the seminars each year based on the needs of
those who attend.
Sales trainer and speaker Barry Maher will
offer real-world tactics and reality-based motivation in
Thursday morning’s opening presentation, “Take This
Job and Love It.” Then, top-notch cleaners will share
with attendees how they can get their plants in high gear with
“Finishing Fitness: How Much Can You Press?”
In addition, IFI CEO Bill Fisher will
define “per(c)secution,” projecting where
regulatory issues will be taking cleaners in the near future. A
panel will also discuss how their alternative solvent choices
have impacted their operations.
On Friday, the seminar continues with two
more sessions. Leading off will be “Razzle Dazzle
’Em,” in which Rex Carrigan will tell how to
monitor customer’s patterns and win their loyalty.
Following that will be “Share and Tell” with some
of the most creative cleaners around sharing what they do to
maintain their customer base.
The seminar fee is $329. A special room
rate of $160 a night is available to IFI members until January
28. Mentioning the IFI meeting will secure the group discount
rate. To make reservations, contact Caesar’s Palace
directly at (800) 634-6661.
For more information, IFI members may call
IFI Registrar Susan Bale, (800) 638-2627, ext. 144, or see the
