Designer and technological guru is a voice for the expanding digital age
Eric Schimelpfenig is a young man on a mission: to spread the word about how kitchen/bath design professionals can enhance their client-engagement skills in an age when sales presentations are undergoing a revolutionary change with the advent of powerful new digital tools.
Schimelpfenig’s expertise – as well as his burgeoning reputation – lies in educating dealers and designers about how to leverage cutting-edge technologies and sales presentation strategies aimed at a new generation of kitchen and bath clients, including the young, digitally savvy consumers impacting the market. His presentations, highlighted by a key role in Kitchen & Bath Design News’ annual eight-city seminar series, focus on ways that design professionals can utilize a rapidly expanding palette of software, smart phones, mobile devices, new apps and other digital tools to smooth the path from initial client contact through final contract.
The founder of Sketchthis.net, Schimelpfenig himself has utilized 3-D technology throughout his career as a Massachusetts-based kitchen/bath designer, educator and consultant. He’s also taught Sketchup 3-D modeling software at trade shows and other events, while serving as a technology columnist for KBDN.
