One Attendee’s Comments...

“The Banks school enabled us to better educate our customers about the benefits of the lumber we sell. The ability for us to see the entire process of producing lumber, from green until it is loaded onto a truck, helped us explain to the client why they cannot buy ‘perfect wood’.

The seminar allowed us to find better fits for many of our clients by supplying them with different grades than they had been using, or by offering better yielding width sorts or ripped to width lumber. These educating processes have helped increase profitability for us and our customers.

I believe that Formations Edmonton sells more lumber to more customers today than it ever has, and the knowledge that the Banks’ seminar has given us has definitely contributed to that. I highly recommend the seminar to anyone in our industry, no matter their level of experience. If all of our competitors were as informed as Banks’ seminar has helped us to become, selling lumber would become less of the ‘best price’ battle that it can be today.

I look forward to the opportunity for more of our staff to be able to benefit from Banks’ future seminars.”
