John and Dean from Direct Line Sales would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend another one of our educational days to help you expand and improve your position in the marketplace.

As promised at our Educational day last April, this event will focus on Rodents and Wildlife. We are pleased to announce that John Schwerin from Bell Labs will be presenting on Rodent Biology and Control Strategies. Dean Stanbridge has developed a new talk on Challenging Rodent Situations in Commercial Accounts. We will also have Mike Givlin, V.P. of Steritech’s Wildlife Division presenting on Effective Wildlife Control Strategies and Tim Croll from Monzi Corp. to launch the sales and marketing for our new Product Line “Leaf Defier”. John Howlett will once again MC the event and bring us up to speed on new products that D-Line has been working on to bring to you.

Since our focus is to educate our clients that support our business, D-Line clients will only pay a minimal charge of $30.00 per person (Non-current D-Line Clients will be charged $75.00). This will include coffee in the morning and a buffet lunch.

Due to the overwhelming response from our last events we’ve decided to move into a larger room that will accommodate more displays and people but we still have limited space so sign up quickly. If you’re already a Direct Line client, just sign up and we will bill your account. For non clients, we take Visa and Mastercard and would love to welcome you into the D-Line family at this event.

The venue will be held on November 17, 2009 at the Best Western Hotel in Milton, ON. We will have lots of displays so you can put your hands on new materials and get a good feeling for how they work.

We can’t wait to see old and new friends at this terrific day that is guaranteed to increase your revenue and inspire you to increase your current business.

Thanks and See you on November 17th

WOW!!! John and I have just finished our 1st year together and it’s been GREAT!! We both want to thank all of our clients for their unbelievable support. We would also like to welcome our new Direct Line clients and promise we will continue to keep giving superior service.

Our 2nd Seminar in April was a complete “Sell Out” and in only 4 days. The feedback was fantastic and we really appreciate Bird B Gone for helping us with the speakers. It’s technical days like these that we want our clients to have access to and gain important industry knowledge at a discounted price.

We know we will never be the biggest but that’s not our goal. Our mission is to be recognized as being the industry leader in providing a wide variety of products and being able to back that up with the technical expertise to ensure that our clients are getting the most from their purchases.

So much as changed in only one year! A new web site, a blog, more extensive product lines and the new look of D-Line. The only thing that hasn’t changed is our continued drive to be the best.

Thanks again and have a Great Day!!!

National Pest Management Association – Washington D.C., October 23, 2008. Dean Stanbridge gave a presentation on Mobile Technology and its use in the Pest Management Industry. The talk focused on hands on experience and manufacturing updates to equipment from manufacturers such as Motorola. Stanbridge spelled out the good and bad about the latest and greatest equipment. He told the crowd that mobile equipment has caught up to the needs of the consumers. “There’s no better time to buy handhelds, as right now!”

This day of seminars is taking aim at bedbugs and the “add on” services of odour control. We have lined up 4 excellent speakers to bring you “up to speed” on the latest issues and solutions for bedbugs and washroom services.

By the time you leave you will be equipped to select and sell these key “add on” services. In addition, you will be prepared to handle the tough questions on bedbugs and have the equipment to do a proper job at eliminating this troublesome pest.

There will be a minimal charge to attend of $25.00 per person. This will include coffee in the morning and lunch. We have limited space so sign up quickly. If you’re already a Direct Line client, just sign up and we will bill your account. For non clients, we take Visa and Mastercard and would love to welcome you into the D-Line family at this event.
