Local Disaster Cleanup Franchise Goes All In at SERVPRO Convention
47th annual event sets another record for attendance
Blackwood, NJ (Grassroots Newswire) July 26, 2016 - SERVPRO®, an industry
leader in disaster cleanup, restoration and remediation services, welcomed
a record-breaking group of more than 2800 franchise owners, key staff and
corporate representatives, including Alfred Marinelli and Alfred D.
Marinelli of SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township, to their 47th
Annual SERVPRO® Convention, held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from June
26-30.
The week of workshops, networking and keynote presentations was based on
the theme All In and was designed to unite franchise owners, team
members, distributors, associates and corporate employees in support of
ServPros top three initiatives: Expansion into the commercial workplace,
leadership training, and communication.
For a small business owner, time is money. But the time spent at this
annual event is time well spent, said Alfred Marinelli, owner of SERVPRO
of Blackwood/Gloucester Township. The combination of workshops, speakers
and networking provides attendees with actionable business insights, an
industry overview and practical tips and tricks from others in the same
field. In my view, ServPros convention benefits not only their
franchisees but also the communities that their franchisees serve.
This years All In convention program featured a keynote address by
motivational speaker Connie Podesta (http://conniepodesta.com/), who takes
a humorous and dynamic approach to promoting communications and increasing
sales, and 28 workshop sessions focused on leadership training in ServPros
six Key Result Areas: Marketing, Executive, Production, Accounting, Human
Resources, and Office. A highlight of the convention was the Awards
Extravaganza event where ServPro recognized their franchisees many
successes in the previous year.
ServPro understands that running a small business is a challenge, said
Sue Steen, Chief Executive Officer of Servpro Industries, Inc. Our annual
convention gives us the opportunity to recognize individual franchisees
who have excelled both at building their businesses and enhancing SERVPROs
reputation as an industry leader in disaster cleanup, restoration and
remediation services. We offer our sincere congratulations to this years
award winners and to all of the dedicated professionals who work hard
every day to provide world-class service to their customers.
