new interest from prospective members in joining CAI, and also booked students onto our very popular courses there and then! The show was also an excellent opportunity for us to see all the manufacturing/distributing members under one roof, and to spot all the exciting new products coming into the market place this autumn Kevin Dawson has also attended Grax’s Northwest Trade Show in Salford, Manchester which was also well attended, with some great informative presentations Kevin was able to discuss with attendees CAI’s course syllabuses that are proving ever popular, along with our assessment criteria needed for new CAI members CAI 2020Wall planner CAI’s 2019 wall planner was very well received again this year Designed as a good advertising platform for many of our manufacturers/ distributors, it has also proved popular for trade counters The 2020 wall planner will be available from late December 2019, if you require additional copies please let the CAI office know Social Media As many of our members are aware, CAI are very active on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn We find that all 3 platforms are an excellent way of quickly sharing information with you, for example, our course dates, new MUX listings, member benefits and how to join CAI etc We would thoroughly recommend members to set up their own accounts using social media, as it can really help businesses grow and can begin relationships with customers not necessarily based in your own vicinity The Press The good working relationships we have built with the leading magazines in our industry continue, and I have been very pleased that we are regularly featured in them, gaining great editorial coverage that is constantly raising our profile All of our great new training courses, dates and venues are featured in these magazines that include Essential Install, IER, ECN, Broadband Magazine and Get Connected Our extensive and increasing portfolio of courses is also being constantly marketed and our efforts of ‘up skilling’ our members for the future seem to be recognised CAI Member Benefits CAI is still working closely with Jelf to offer our members bespoke cover for health cash plans and private medical insurance To gain individual quotes and to discuss all three schemes we have on offer, contact Jeremy Reid, Senior Consultant at Jelf on 07515 062 164 or email today on: Jeremy reid@jelfgroup com Jelf insurance continues to be a great benefit to membership all round, with its fantastic insurance scheme bringing down the cost of cover for you Another major part of the work we are doing www.grax.co.uk GRAXACADEMY TheUK’s Leading MultimediaTradeCounters NOTTINGHAM 01159279993 BIRMINGHAM 01213280111 LEEDS 01132633500 MANCHESTER 01617472007 See thewebsite fordetailsofall our FREE courses!
