conexpo-conagg With over 125,000 people expected to attend, 2,000 exhibitors on hand and over 1,000 new products and technologies to be showcased, we’re looking forward to seeing how this event plays out.  With folks like Trimble showcasing their updated GPS technology to help contractors setup “connected worksites” to Komatsu revealing their 2nd generation hybrid excavator with a reported 25% fuel savings, there will be a lot to see including new product showcasings from various manufacturers throughout the show floor.

If you’d like to meet and talk with either Bill Sitter or Chris Sitter, feel free to send me an email (ben@jordansitter.com), and I’d be happy to setup an appointment.

I’m sure we’ll see plenty of familiar faces, as this isn’t our first rodeo. We’ve been attending CONEXPO for years. I hope everyone has a great time, and stay tuned as Bill & Chris Sitter will be joined at the show by Jerry Randecker and his wife Carol, owners of JSA, later this week!

AED Summit JSA Associates; Jerry Randecker & Chris Sitter, are preparing to leave for this year’s AED Summit in Orlando, FL. The convention goes from today through Friday and includes the Condex  tradeshow & hosts a slew of speakers including Tony Blankley, Alan Beaulieu and Mike Marks. With plenty of networking, meetings and discussions going on, we’re sure the state of the economy and where it’s going will be on a lot of people’s minds. It will be interesting to hear what the forecaster’s say about our industry and to see how it will all play out. From JSA’s perspective, the outlook is much brighter than it has been for the last two years.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones. If you would like to setup some time to meet with Jerry or Chris at the Summit, feel free to reach them via email: jerry@jordansitter.com and chris@jordansitter.com, respectively. See ya there!

Upcoming AED 2010 Summit Conference

In the midst of this blessed Christmas season, our team at JSA is also busy making plans for the upcoming AED Summit Conference.   Travel to this important event will be much easier for us, this year, as the event is being hosted in our home city of San Antonio.  As always, this annual conference will provide an ideal opportunity to renew, and add to, business relationships with distributors and manufacturers across the equipment industry. 

Representing Team JSA on the golf course Wednesday, Jan 20, will be Bill Sitter. If you see him there feel free to question his handicap since the tournament is being held on one of his favorite courses.

Along with Bill, Jerry Randecker and Chris Sitter will be actively participating in the conference on Thursday and Friday.  This includes visiting our industry friends during the day and relaxing at the evening networking events on Thursday and Friday.  The changes made by AED to the Friday night event will make it much easier for all of us to renew acquaintances or meet for the first time.

We look forward to seeing you in the Alamo City, January 20-22, 2010, at the 2010 AED Summit Conference.

JSA Attends This Year’s AEM Annual Conference

Bill Sitter and Jerry Randecker recently returned from attending the annual Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) conference held in Hollywood, FL.   This meeting is great for networking with colleagues throughout the construction and farm equipment manufacturer and related supplier companies.  Featured at this year’s meeting was a focus on how to expand your marketing presence through social networking using modern technology. 

 Although Jordan-Sitter Associates has previously utilized Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to interact with potential candidates and clients; the message of how powerful these tools can be was highlighted.  Beyond networking, the conference reinforced how  these tools can help keep your business image in front of customers. 

 Upon returning to our office in Texas, we began to implement some additional ideas using these tools to enhance our customer support and service.  Of course, having some younger (25 and 30 something) staff members does help us more readily turn these ideas into actions.

 The conference was well attended and offered updates on the current economic situation worldwide.  We are looking forward to attending next year’s conference scheduled to be held in our beautiful home town of San Antonio.

(L to R) Bill, Autumn, Jennifer, and Jerry

Some of the members of the JSA Team traveled to the 26th Annual, AGC Trade & Equipment Show hosted at the Austin, TX Convention Center.

Associates Autumn and Jennifer thoroughly enjoyed themselves, having the opportunity to test out some of the equipment and simulators on the show floor. Jennifer quips after getting in the CAT D7E dozer, “Sign me up for the operator training course, this thing is awesome!”

Although it’s among the smaller shows that JSA attends, we always enjoy going as it helps to provide our associates insight into the industries we serve and the equipment that makes up those industries.

As Bill & Chris make their way out of their Chicago cab (I’ve been hearing a number of complaints from WINDPOWER attendees about the cabbies around here, wonder why?), and back to the McCormick Place Convention center for Round 2 of the show, I’m here to share with you today’s Show Daily, published by North American Windower (see below).
