I have suggested for a few years now that you include technical trainers in your recognition categories.
As valuable as tech support people, trainers provide vital information and assistance in the real issues that installers and users face in dealing with control systems.
Also, similar to Sales people, trainers are often the only face of a company that many users actually see and interact with. In this role, trainers become the salesperson, by showing the product, teaching of its capabilities, convincing users that the product will perform and meet their unique building control needs.
But, I see that once again, you have failed in your awards program to shine a spotlight on possibly the most overlooked customer-facing role in controls today; the lowly technical trainer. To quote the great Private Gomer Pyle, “For shame, for shame!”
