Connecting with Customers: P1 Partners Tour Fabrication Shops and More
Thanks to the leadership of P1 Group Business Development Manager Tim Moore, P1 Group has been doing a lot more entertaining.
Tim has been instrumental in organizing events like P1 Fun@4 and fabrication shop tours that allow customers, prospects, and partners a chance to get to know us better.
The Fun@4 format is simply social. Guests are invited to have a few drinks, some food, and just hang out with select P1 associates. There鈥檚 also a pretty mean Cornhole competition with premium prizes for the winners.
鈥淎s Business Development Manager, part of my responsibilities is to meet with our trade partners in the A/E/C (architecture, engineering, construction) community every week,鈥� Tim explained.
鈥淏y meeting with these folks, we get an idea of what projects they鈥檙e chasing, currently working on or have already done.鈥�
Tim says the strategy for Fun@4 is to take that information and try to pair companies that have, want to or will work together on a project. Guests are usually invited in combinations representing A/E/C.
To date, P1 Group has welcomed Lytle Construction & BSA Lifestructures; Nabholz, Hoefer Wysocki, & WSP; McCownGordon, Henderson Engineering & HOK; BranchPattern, McCarthy, & Pulse Design Group; and Saint Luke's & ACI Boland Architects to the exclusive Fun@4 events.
We also like our colleagues to get a first-hand look at our capabilities.
Tim began organizing tours of our Lawrence, KS, fabrication shops in 2019, and to date Turner, McCarthy, Henderson Engineers, Burns & McDonnell, and Kendall have come through the shop.
Guests have been pretty amazed at our fabrication capacity.
Here are some of the comments we鈥檝e gotten on our follow-up feedback forms.
鈥淵ou guys are definitely going to be the top of our list when it comes time to make a call on a partner.鈥�
鈥淭he tour reinforced my knowledge that P1 was an organized, sophisticated, and capable trade partner that could handle any problem or any size project.鈥�
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 realize all of the prefabrication that P1 was performing in terms of Electrical scope. I also didn鈥檛 realize the capabilities P1 had in terms of custom steel fabrication.鈥�
鈥淵our team is clearly talented with integration of systems to help quicken the ability to install faster!鈥�
In 2020, P1 Group will be offering more Fun@4, more tours, and adding educational opportunities at our training facility for our industry partners as well.
