CarveWright and Rockler

[fwharris]

Well after the drive down to the store I find out they had to reschedule the demonstration do to not having all of the materials and equipment the needed. I did get to meet Taylor Hudson who will be learning the CarveWright system and doing the demos. I will update when I get the new date.


I am not certain but I think this involved some of the other stores as well.

My Rockler was canceled too, but they had the machine and the guy learned how to run it so we did a demo. There were three people there. They'll do the next one too. Just being there to fill in the gaps was good. I helped out by showing how easy the software is to use and stuff. The manager gave me a $25 gift card.

There were three at my store as well. Two of them were prior machine sales for me from the Woodworking shows, and one guy said he has yet to get the machine out of the box. He said he also has one of the small Piranha machines as well and has not used it either. He is suppose to contact me for some double machine training.

The in store trainer also offered to get me a gift card. I thanked him and told him to hold that thought for when I come back for the real demo. I did take a few carving samples with me and left a couple with him for the display.

The Denver store did their demo today. I helped out by meeting/greeting and answering questions. There were more CarveWright owners there than non owners so I did get a chance to meet some that I have not met before.

One gentleman has had his cw for about 4 years and it is still in the box plus he also has one of the small Piranha machines and has not used it either. So need I say more for a training opportunity with a double dip.

That in store trainer did say he has been handing out my business cards to those who were interested in the machine, but no contact as of yet. I also got a chance to see their wood shop / class room training area and planted the seeds for doing some group training.

They will be doing more demo dates like this one as well with the next one in early December.
