During our Orlando training event, we had the opportunity to chat with Joshua Spivak and Keith Gallo of Ikon Windows and Doors. These two brought a lot of fun energy to the podcast table, and discussed the major reasons they love learning about and working with our products.

Our training event in Orlando was well attended, including several members of our sales team. Today you get to meet Tom Adams, Regional Sales Manager, and Ryan DiPaulo, Territory Sales Representative, as they joined me at the podcast table. They each share how these events help them, and better equip our customers to be successful.

We hosted a training event as Hurricane Idalia was making her way up the Gulf of Mexico. This did not stop our learners from coming to Orlando for a couple of days. Rodney O'Quinn and Mike Smale, both from Sunset View Windows and Doors sat down with me (separately) to chat about their business, and why they still attend training events, even with many years of experience.

Having a thorough understanding of the business makes people successful, and today's guest is a prime example of this. Meet Kristy Meadows, Vice President of Sales Operations, who works to improve pain points, and help improve processes. This quick episode will help you learn a bit more about the ways we serve our customers.

Today we meet Chad Tennant, who oversees our Florida National Accounts and Corporate Builder teams. Chad and I discuss the trends he is seeing across the northern and central parts of Florida, where more people are choosing impact products. And we talk about why that is such an easy decision.

Sam has been making our customers happy for many years, which has allowed him to rise from a Territory Rep, then Regional Sales Manager, to his recently acquired position of Sales Director. Sam, a Florida native, shares about the things that make him such a fabulous part of our team.

PGT Innovations has such an extensive pool of folks to meet, with some being more visible than others. Today's guest is mostly on the road, managing a vast territory of the US. Howard brings so much experience as he shares more about his team and the work they do.

Our team has experts in various areas, including energy! Kevin Vilhauer, VP of Engineering at Western, returns to discuss the newest requirements for Energy Star 7.0 which takes place this fall.
