IN THE MIX
Conference Season
Time for Sealcoaters to Level Up
MARVIN JOLES
E very January, the asphalt world wakes up with the same signal: conference season is officially here. For contractors, especially the men and women focused on the sealcoating side of the industry, this stretch of the year is one of the most important opportunities you’ ll get to sharpen your skills, upgrade your equipment, and make connections that shape your entire season. UFC veteran and asphalt business owner, Scott Holtzman, and I recently spoke about this on an episode of the In The Mix Podcast. He attended his first conference in our industry last year. Like most industries, our industry is leaping forward … finally. There are new tools, new techniques, new materials, and new expectations from customers. If you’ re not actively improving, you’ re falling behind; and conferences are the one place where you can accelerate your growth in a single week.
See the Equipment Before You Invest
Sealcoating equipment is a serious investment, and nothing beats being able to stand next to the machines, grab the handles, inspect the welds, and talk directly with the people who build or distribute them. Whether it’ s:
• New agitation or spray systems
• More efficient crack-sealant melters
• Precision digital measuring tools
