In other news, nine York territory managers (TMs) graduated from Johnson Controls’ Special Ops Boot Camp held near the company’s Unitary Products headquarters in Norman, OK in late 2008. The training provides TMs with the information they need to help dealers plan for and achieve business success. To qualify for the training, TMs must graduate from York’s Basic Training Boot Camp with a score of at least 85% and spend the following six months in the field.
