Further compounding the value of 4DX, "Our branch managers left the meeting with a sense of enthusiasm, as they look forward to implementing this program to achieve their goals," according to Thoms.

The meeting held last weekend included SDG management from its Bolingbrook headquarters and branch managers from Midwest Fuel Injection (Illinois, Iowa), Metro Fuel Injection (Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania), International Fuel Injection (Florida), Pacific Fuel Injection (Oregon), and Action Truck Parts (Illinois).

The two-and-a-half-day event allowed SDG to review business results, recognize significant achievements, share new strategies for goal setting and provide a great opportunity for relationship building.
