How to Use the
Data Seminar
Understanding the Solomon
Study Results
Solomon’s Fuels Study contains
a wealth of information. The key
is learning how to unlock the
value of your data to improve
performance. Pacesetters have
learned long ago to leverage
their investment by conducting
their own in-depth analysis.
Now it is your turn to better
understand industry
performance…and your own.

participant personnel—especially those tasked with completing the
data input forms, reviewing the results files, or using the data to drive
improvement.
To receive the full benefit of the seminar, attendees are asked to bring a
laptop computer equipped with Microsoft® Excel and a USB port for
reading a data stick. While the laptop is not required, it will help enhance

laptop for every three attendees.

aside to analyze your specific performance gaps. Experience a seminar
that focuses on your issues, your gaps, at your site. On-site seminars are
offered for US $12,000 plus US $250 per person, plus travel expenses.
