GLASSICON is a strategic partnership program designed by the Glass Business of Saint-Gobain India, for its fabricator partners (glazing contractors). It aims to strengthen the relationship with fabricators by rewarding them based on their consistent sales quarterly performance.
Two significant GlassIcon meets were hosted at Lucknow and Indore, where fabricators gathered to discuss industry advancements, engage in interactive sessions, and celebrate performance.
The events witnessed an impressive turnout, with nearly 50 fabricators attending each of the meets. These meetings were not just about networking but also about acknowledging the contributions of partners and exploring new opportunities within the industry.
The GlassIcon (GI) meet was packed with activities designed to engage and reward participants. One of the most exciting part was the "Celebrity of GlassIcon” contest. GI partners were encouraged to take pictures at the event and post them on social media.
Quizzes were also a significant part of the event. A Product Quiz and a Program Quiz were held, both offering gifts to winners, making the learning process enjoyable and interactive. Additionally, the “Value Your Opinion” segment allowed participants to provide feedback at the end of the event. The best suggestion on the GI Program was rewarded, ensuring that every voice was heard and valued.
Recognition and rewards were at the heart of this year’s GlassIcon meets. This year’s Indore meet saw couple of partners recognised for their achievements, which was the highest to date. Similarly, in Lucknow, the number of rewarded partners too increased this time. The increase in the number of rewards, highlights the growth of the GI partnership and the confidence these partners have in working alongside Saint-Gobain.
The interactive sessions were another unique aspect of the Lucknow and Indore meets. These discussions covered new products, supply chain management, the GI program benefits, and processor audits. The engaging nature of these sessions fostered a strong sense of partnership, with participants displaying ownership of their business relationship with Saint-Gobain. Many expressed their business-related concerns and sought solutions through mutual understanding, showcasing the trust and collaborative spirit within the GI partnership.
In Lucknow, GI partners showed a notable interest in understanding Saint-Gobain's new product range, particularly SGG Rosa NXT, SGG Kopper, and SGG Midas Gold. On the other hand, partners in Indore were keen to delve deeper into the factory processes and material supply chain. They also emphasised the need for greater availability of new product catalogs, reflecting their eagerness to stay informed and up to date.
The Saint-Gobain GlassIcon meets in Lucknow and Indore were a resounding success, characterized by active participation, meaningful interactions, and a growing sense of partnership. The events not only celebrated the achievements of GI partners but also provided a platform for them to voice their concerns and contribute to the ongoing success of the GI program. With more partners being recognized and rewarded, it’s clear that the GlassIcon meets are fostering stronger and confident partnerships with Saint-Gobain Glass.
