POWER VAC
AMERICA attends IAQA—NAFA
Conference in Las Vegas
POWER VAC AMERICA
attends
the IAQA—NAFA Conference in Las Vegas. The Indoor Air Quality
Association (IAQA) and the National Air Filtration Association (NAFA)
held a combined conference and exposition September 27-30 at the MGM
Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Power
Vac America is committed to continuing education and training in the
IAQ and HVAC system cleaning service.
The keynote
address by Dr. Earl Taylor: Creating Partnerships, Building
Bridges was worth the cost of the conference. The IAQA-NAFA
convention is a shining example of the benefits that come when two
organizations combine forces and work together. For the convention
keynote, the associations selected a world-renown expert on how to
maximize benefits in your business and personal life through
strategic partnerships and networking. Dr. Earl Taylor discussed how
to do the groundwork before a networking event, how to choose the
right events to attend and the importance of knowing who is “coming
to dinner.” The presentation covered how to exchange ideas,
information and resources and how our attitude becomes a key to our
networking life. Dr. Taylor discussed the difference between
networking and selling, how to prepare the questions we should be
asking other attendees, when we should arrive, where we sit, and how
to determine whether people can be a source of information or a
potential client. The importance of giving vs. receiving, how to
slip away, how to follow up and the importance of developing a plan
of action was discussed.
