LOS ANGELES, CA, November 3, 2010 – Smeal Fire Apparatus is a major competitor in the fire and rescue industry. Smeal is a
family owned company and it shows in the quality of service they provide to their clients, so it is only natural that when the time
comes to choose vendors for themselves, Smeal chooses vendors that are closely aligned with their core values and dedication
to customer service.
Headquartered out of Snyder, Nebraska Smeal Fire Apparatus is a major manufacturer of aerial ladders, platform aerials and
pumpers for rescue teams throughout all of North America. Looking to eliminate geographical barriers and reduce travel costs,
MegaMeeting.com’s 100% browser-based web and video conferencing service was their answer. According to Jeff Wegner,
Regional Sales Director of Smeal Fire Apparatus,“MegaMeeting gives us the same feeling of support that we expect to give to
our customers. They make us feel like they are a small company that cares about your business instead of being just a number”.
Used for product demonstrations and meetings, the sales department takes full advantage of the many features provided to
them through MegaMeeting.com, such as the ability to have 16 live video feeds and the use of built-in audio (VoIP).
MegaMeeting has been able to save Smeal Fire Apparatus money on preconstruction trips, increase team productivity and
reduce travel by allowing Smeal to hold one-on-one dealer evaluations without the need to leave the office.
“MegaMeeting gives us the
same feeling of support that we
expect to give to our customers.
They make us feel like they are a
small company that cares about
your business instead of being
just a number”.
Recommended by their web developer, Jeff Wegner went on to say
“MegaMeeting allows us to have weekly Sales Management Team meetings
with two company personnel that are assigned to work in the field. We hold
evaluations with our distributors that are in remote locations and we have
already used MegaMeeting when a sales rep could not be on location, but
his customers were. He was able to sit through an 8 hour video conference
to discuss the design parameters of their fire apparatus, which resulted in
saving the sales rep two days of travel time and being out of the office.”
Prior to incorporating MegaMeeting, business was conducted through
conference calls and waiting until company personnel were available for
face-to-face meetings. When asked if MegaMeeting.com will be used in
other aspects of their business, Jeff Wegner mentioned that they will be
using the product to hold more conferences with customers, allowing their
clients to keep expenses down. Smeal may also use MegaMeeting in the
future for warranty work and training mechanics in the field.
