Carter University is offering free, weekly online customer education sessions to equip and enable you and your team with the tools and technology available through Carter Machinery.
These 30-minute live sessions will be hosted through a series of WebEx meetings by a Carter University instructor. Areas of focus will include, but are not limited to: learning about My.Cat.com, ordering through Parts.Cat.com, Preventive Maintenance options, and so much more!
We all have to work smarter, not just harder, these days and these open-enrollment, no-charge sessions will equip you to do just that! We look forward to seeing you at ShopTalk next Wednesday!
Your knowledge and class was excellent material. I greatly enjoyed expanding my educational awareness and have sold many filters over the years without understanding the full value of Cat filters in this way! Great Class and hats off to Carter University. I can use the information I learned today as talking points right away.
