KENOSHA, Wis., Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- It took a
state as big as Texas to hold this
year's Snap-on Franchisee Conference (SFC). The annual event
focused on the company's leadership in the "frontier" of hand,
power and diagnostic tools; tool storage; and productivity
solutions. "The Big Frontier"-themed SFC was held in Dallas, where more than 8,000 attended
representing more than 3,000 North American routes. Opportunities
were wide-open for attendees to experience the latest in sales,
product and business management information from the best of
Snap-on.
"Franchisees are most often the face of Snap-on, representing
products that make critical tasks easier for professional
technicians," says Tom Kassouf,
president of the Snap-on Tools Group. "It's important for us to
share with them the latest innovations created with their customers
in mind. In addition, information and technology are powerful tools
in the success and growth of a Snap-on franchise, so we blend these
into instructive business seminars. Finally, it wouldn't be a
Snap-on event without some fun, so we added world-class
entertainment to the weekend."
This year's conference featured a 144,000-square-foot show floor
filled with thousands of innovative products, staffed by the
product managers and engineers that create and manufacture those
products; interactive demonstrations; a productivity and profit
center; Snap-on Credit booth; and a show car of Snap-on Funny Car
driver Cruz Pedregon. Attendees also
took part in "Franchisee Knowledge Exchange" sessions, along with
other seminars and business updates.
Conference attendees were treated to entertainment by
Grammy® Award-winning artist Little Big Town, as well as
the Harlem Globetrotters; World Classic Rockers featuring former
members of Journey, Boston,
Santana, Steppenwolf and Lynyrd Skynyrd; Jake Worthington, The Voice® season
six runner-up; and Mariachi Nuevo Estilo from America's Got
Talent®. In addition, franchisees could enter to win a
