Supported the efforts of sales staff to expand the adoption of new clean-burning propane technologies in the off-road and agriculture markets, across Blue Star Gas company locations. My efforts include identifying relevant technology and incentives. Then educating team members and customers about new programs and uses, that utilize a robust supply of clean American propane to reduce operating costs and environmental impact compared to other energy sources.
