PDCA to present two September seminars
Drycleaners who are turning away work are
turning away money. Every time a plant employee has to say
“no” to a customer garment, profits ultimately
suffer as a result.
In September, the Pennsylvania
and Delaware Cleaners Association seeks to help drycleaners pump up more profits
in their plants by enlisting the aid of industry expert Fran
Sadler for two sessions of a seminar entitled “Make Money
on Work You Turn Away Now.”
Sadler, who has earned both CED and CPD
designations, has long been a drycleaning consultant helping
plant employees and business owners all over the country. She
is an award-winning Dale Carnegie graduate and a second
generation cleaner, as well.
In her seminars, she will show attendees
how it is possible to accept work that they thought was too
tricky or difficult and handle it properly, thus adding new
revenue streams for their company.
The first session will be held on
Wednesday, Sept. 14 at the Holiday Inn Select University Center
in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, PA. It will begin at 7:30
p.m.
The second seminar is planned for
Thursday, Sept. 15 at Leeds Restaurant, located at 750
Eisenhower Blvd. in Harrisburg. It will also start promptly at
7:30 p.m.
Each seminar will cost $35 per member to
attend. Non-members must pay $65 each.
Also on tap for PDCA in September is the
association’s board of directors meeting, which will be
held on the 11th at Sea Esta III in Dewey Beach, DE.
Another board of directors meeting is
planned late in the year on Dec. 4 at the Harrisburg Wyndham.
