Cleveland, OH, December, 30, 2005. The Marble Institute of America will hold the first of three advanced residential countertop sales and production seminars in Knoxville, TN, March 2-3, 2006, an event that has been described as the best combination in the marketplace today of classroom instruction on countertops coupled with hands-on equipment demonstrations.

"We're pleased to host the site of the first advanced countertop seminar and support the MIA's regional education program," said J. Vic Green, President of VIC International. "This seminar is for companies thinking about growth in the future and it will help identify markets, sales targets, equipment and procedures that must be in place."
Principal instructor will be G.K. Naquin, a 33-year industry veteran who was named "Fabricator of the Year" by Stone World Magazine in 2005. Naquin and his partners operate Stone Interiors LLC, with facilities in Loxley, Alabama and Columbia, South Carolina. Naquin is considered one of the industry's leading countertop experts.
The first day of the seminar will focus on classroom discussions on sales and marketing and taking fabrication and installation businesses to the next level. Day two will offer leading edge equipment demonstrations in a production setting, designed to help increase production and productivity.
