Sale reps from all over North America came out to California to participate in the 2016 Waterstone Faucets International Sales Meeting. Held over three days at the Pala Casino and Resort, reps got some first hand kitchen faucet training with our National and Region Sales Managers. The first day consisted of a plant tour and some faucet assembly training. Several of the reps actually built a faucet with one of our assembly crew. This hands on training gives our people the knowledge of what actually goes into creating a top quality kitchen faucet. Day two were small breakout sessions to learn about Waterstone vendors. Packaging, printing, manufacturing software, marketing material and website development were all part of the presentations. On to cocktails, dinner and the Clemson/Alabama National Championship Game. Day three started with a half day presentation and feedback session, then on to some fun. Attendees were given the choice of a wine tour in Temecula, golf at the Pala Mesa Resort or a spa treatment at Pala. Waterstone cannot thank our sales team enough. Our amazing “family” is one of the reason Waterstone is were it is today. Great work!
Waterstone is also proud to announce our newest member of the faucet family. On January 13th, day three of our sales meeting, Ryker Lank was born. Ryker is the son of our production supervisor Kathleen Lank. He is also the grandson of our Purchasing Manager Pam Donnelly. Congrats to Kathleen and Grandma Pam!
