“The web can be a wonderful place…a wonderful resource, but I think it should only be about 20% of your decision making. You can start seeing okay well who is out there, but then you need to pick up the phone and understand who they are and see if you like them and vibe with them. At our level of equipment, it’s an investment into your future. Ask the hard questions, who are they working with, how long have they been around for and why should they be chosen – and customer service – will they be there when you need them.
Nobody wants to be sold. Where I focus is ABE – Always Be Educating. Our team does a phenomenal job at doing this…we’re not going to sell you something that you don’t need.”
– Jocelyn Prefontaine
Jocelyn Prefontaine is a close friend of Vitalis and one of the OG’s in the business who continues to break industry barriers. She’s currently the Head of Sales for Asia Pacific and Latin America for Keirton Inc. and Twister Trimming Solutions – manufacturers of heat-treatment, laboratory, and manual processing equipment – serving the cannabis, botanical, and ‘other’ spaces.
An extrovert and global connector who started working in door-to-door sales at the age of 19, Jocelyn has watched the cannabis industry grow exponentially throughout her career. She sat down (virtually) with Jason in December 2020 to share her unique perspective and convey the joy she finds in making human connections, educating people, and helping them find solutions that truly fit their needs. In this episode of The Extraction Insiders, Jocelyn talks about new innovations at Keirton, and why she believes that we’re only just starting to scratch the surface of what technology and automation can do to unleash the potential of this fascinating plant. She even takes a few minutes at the end to turn the tables on host Jason Laronde who gives props to the customers of today, and a few tips being well-versed and aware as a buyer in what is best described as a complicated industry.
