3M Distributor Keeps Window Film Dealers Ahead of the Game

Energy Products Distribution (EPD), the East Coast distributor of 3M film, has created EPD University, a classroom training course that provides 3M window film dealers with a forum to share ideas and business practices.

The classes run two days at a time and sessions have been held in February, March and April in Baltimore. Participants use interactive and experience-based learning to cover topics such as target marketing, multi-channel marketing, Internet marketing, customer relationship management, energy audit software training and bomb-blast testing, among others.
According to EPD, the courses were geared toward anyone marketing to commercial and federal customers and are taught by people with experience in the installation of the company's window film.

The April session featured a hands-on demonstration and certification course for 3M's wet glaze attachment led by chief engineer Ken Smith from Saint Paul, Minn. Nineteen students were certified as 3M applicators of the wet glaze attachment system.
The next session is scheduled for July 15.
