STAUNTON, VA – Federated has announced a new training initiative that will provide professional service providers with business management techniques designed to improve profits and enhance customer satisfaction.

The Federated Profit Improvement Seminar Program, which was developed in association with Affinia and the Essential Action Design Group, consists of field training coupled with workbooks and an interactive CD that allows for benchmarking of statistical data and development of profit plans specific to each service providers’ business.

“This new training program is another example of the great tools Federated provides its customers to help them succeed in today’s competitive marketplace,” said Affinia’s Mike Allen. “Our goal is to help the service provider customers see that making small changes in how they do business every day can make a big difference to their bottom line.”

The training program is currently being conducted through test groups with a planned expanded roll-out later in the year.
