September 1, 1985 announced ADS president Harold

Klebanoff, LaBan Equipment

"Marketing and sales planning is more important than ever in the diesel fuel injection service busi- ness," said Mr. Klebanoff. "Our industry is long past the point where a diesel shop can simply open for business and expect the customers to start flowing in," he said.

The workshop will provide ADS members with information which they can take back to their shops and put into practice, according to

Mr. Klebanoff. The subject areas to be covered include: "What is marketing, and where does it fit into your business?," "Setting realistic goals, and tying them into company objectives," "Ways to make your company's individual characteris- tics work to your advantage," "The roles of top management and sales management, and how they are dif- ferent," and "What does your cus- tomer think of you? Does it mat- ter?"

Designed for business owners, general managers and sales man- agers, the workshop is presented by the Association of Diesel Specialists in cooperation with the Fromm In- stitute, Kansas City, Mo. as a spe- cial service to ADS members.

For more information on the workshop, contact Louis A. Zuan- ich at ADS headquarters, 9140
