January 2010 graduating class was awesome.

They learned how to prepare concrete for staining and engraving, how to use the Engrave-A-Crete tools to engrave concrete like the Mongoose, the Sandroid, the Super Compact, the Lil’ Beaver & the KaleidoCrete System.

They also learned how to enter and dominate their local decorative concrete market.

Here’s what a few of the Discovery & Training graduates had to say about the seminar:

“The employees were great! It makes me feel confident that I am doing business with honest, knowledgeable people that want me to succeed. (Jeff was very nice and helpful!)”

Nancy Gonzales, Texas Starting a new part time business and for personal use

“This was a great training. I opened my mind to business opportunities that I can get into locally and internationally. Engrave-A-Crete turned me into a concrete artist in three days. I am well-equipped with information that I needed to pursue a business in the industry. I thank the staff and the cooks. I enjoyed working with a great team. Engrave-A-Crete, you are simply the best. Keep it up!”

Dennis Moropane, Georgia and South Africa. Starting a new part time business.

“The seminar is essential. Nothing beats hands on training. The staff are well organized and very knowledgeable. Questions are answered thoroughly and professionally. If you like to learn by doing and have fun while doing it, this seminar is for you. The small family business environment allows the business values to show through each of the staff members.”

Keith Kephart, Kansas  Starting a new full time business.

“More than I expected — awesome, high quality equipment with a lot of hands-on training.  Every aspect of the basic business was covered.”

Gary Waugh, Maryland  Adding engraving to an existing business.

In the Discovery & Training Seminar marketing segment you will learn topics like:

  • How to choose a name for your business
  • How to pick a website address
  • How to use the web to market your business
  • How to use Google & social media to market your business
  • How to get the most out of home shows
  • How to market by mail
  • Marketing on the job site
  • What to do and say when meeting customers the first time

Here’s what some of our satisfied students have to say:

“(The) Marketing information really opened my eyes, both for my existing business and my future concrete engraving business”

Lawrence Smith, Alabama

” Beyond expectations! The marketing information inspired me to go back to my home town and seriously advertise. All of the people at the Academy were great; very courteous and willing to answer any of my questions. I’m very impressed with the seminar. Keep up the good work.”

Israel Martinez, Texas

We really want you to succeed, and that’s why we teach you how to not only perform the work, but how to spread the word.
