Training
The R.A. Siegel Company has offered training to flooring retailers and their sales and installation associates throughout our history. Hundreds of retailers and their personnel have benefited from these programs. Sales support training is offered in a variety of forms and can be tailored to the needs of the individual dealer.
Recognizing the need for faster and more precise exchange of information and sales assistance, The R.A. Siegel Company is in the process of upgrading our sales force with laptop computers. This will reduce errors and improve the sales representatives' training capability in the field.
