CEO Jim Britton explaining the RetroBuoy System
Deepwater held its first official Pre-OTC Agents Conference at its Houston Train Court HQ in April. During the conference, many issues about selling Deepwater’s products globally were discussed and much positive feedback was obtained.
Deepwater’s CEO Jim Britton was upbeat. “Our agents and foreign representatives are critical to Deepwater. Without their efforts we would not be able to continue our steady international growth. All the attendees with whom I spoke said they planned a return trip next year. We plan to expand the format a little and make it even more productive in 2012.”
The format included product demos, sales techniques, analysis of case history projects, using Deepwater web resources, discussion of FAQ’s, and so forth. Organizer Timothy Britton (Deepwater Deputy COO): “ I was impressed by the genuine desire of the attendees to understand and better represent our products. I was also flattered by their compliments regarding our organization. I look forward to doing it all again next year.”
In attendance from overseas: Chris Clarke – Murjan Marine (Saudi Arabia), Sijmon De Waal – DCN Offshore (UAE), Danai Stamp – JST Technologies (Thailand), Mauro Baretto – IEC Ltda. (Brasil), Eduardo Baretto – IEC Ltda. (Brasil), Wesley Wang – Ashburn International (China), Hayden Mahabir – ACTS (Trinidad & Tobago), Arturo Saenz – Hicorp SA de CV (Mexico), Geoff Camm – Deepwater EU Ltd.
