<strong>ISSA</strong> INNOVATION AWARD PRESENTATION<br />
Join your peers for live entertainment and a cocktail to wind down<br />
at the end of another successful day at <strong>ISSA</strong>/INTERCLEAN. Plus, be<br />
the first to learn who won a 2013 <strong>ISSA</strong> Innovation Award when the<br />
presentation kicks off this popular networking event.<br />
Differentiating between products in a sea of greenwash is no easy task.<br />
Learn how purchasers are using the Transpare online product registry to<br />
review the specific environmental, health, and safety<br />
attributes of cleaning products to find the right fit. Determine<br />
how you can use this tool to increase your sales goals and<br />
be<strong>com</strong>e a stronger sustainability partner.<br />
Many <strong>com</strong>panies lose more than 50 percent of their clients every year due<br />
to low quality, because quality is just a slogan. Service delivery is second,<br />
third, or <strong>com</strong>pletely absent on the list of priorities. Review critical factors of<br />
superior service delivery and what you really need to focus on to improve<br />
account retention.<br />
