ATC ‘22 ARBORPALOOZA: EXPLORING THE WIDE WORLD OF TREES
A Different Approach to Sales Monday, October 3, 2022 | 4:15 pm to 5:15 pm (1 CEU) Presenter: Alby Thoumsin Location: Bay 6
This program encourages sales arborists to approach meeting clients differently and not be driven solely by making money. There is much more to offer than a price for service once we meet potential customers and this is what this presen - tation is all about. In a world becoming increasingly stressful, having a refreshing way to present ourselves and provide services is a plus.
Alby Thoumsin was born and raised in the Belgian Ardenne in 1963. A degree in forestry obtained in 1983 lead him to work early on with trees but timber production was not his call so after work - ing in all aspects of forestry for two years, he continued his career creating and maintaining landscapes. Alby moved to Oregon in 1992 and worked in landscaping until 1999. He became an ISA Certified Arborist and his love for trees returned so he changed his career and joined Sperry Tree Care of Eugene in March of
1999 where he still works as a consultant and sales professional. Alby became an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist in 2007 and was part of the first group who became TRACE certified and holds the TRAQ Qualification. He was the past Edu - cation Chairman and President of Eugene Tree Foundation (Now Friends of Trees Eugene), and past recipient of the Oregon Community Trees Professional award. He, his wife Becky, and his daughter Raven live in Springfield, OR. He loves to resource in nature, play the Native American style flute, carve and craft, and his favorite tree is the Yew.
