Organizers of the 13th annual Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) on Thursday announced authors Thomas Nestor and Jim Pancero, and Colin Gold of Gold Level Hospitality will present during the Aftermarket Briefings educational session at January’s upcoming industry event.

HDAW organizers say Aftermarket Briefings will bring targeted and experienced speakers from three companies to discuss the three Ps of the 2018 event, “People, Partners, Profit.” Each speaker will have fifteen minutes to discuss how their “P” influences the markets they provide services to and how it relates to the independent aftermarket distributors’ businesses.

Additionally, HDAW organizers says attendees will be able to ask the presenters questions via text messaging toward the end of the morning session, scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 23 at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

Focusing on the Partner element of HDAW 2018’s theme, Nestor will show the importance of building strategic partnerships within the heavy-duty aftermarket industry, allowing companies to see the hidden value of working together to provide targeted products and services to customers to improve their businesses. Nestor will also share best practices in building strategic partnerships and the six human needs that must be met for success, HDAW organizers say.

Founder of Leadership Today, a company specializing in creating learning and development for leaders and organizations, Nestor’s purpose is to teach people how to lead in a world that seems to crave leadership.

Gold’s presentation will focus on the People aspect of HDAW’s theme, organizers says, illustrating how companies can create positive work environments by valuing their internal teams and ensuring they are an important part of the customer’s experiential process. Heavy-duty distributors that develop and implement plans to improve customer experiences with employee involvement can provide financial gains to businesses, organizers say.
