Over the last 12 months or so, I have been asked if I wanted to visit various manufacturers. I really enjoy seeing the nuts and bolts of manufacturing facilities. Tours of plants and mills are not only informative, but they are powerful sales tools. On a few occasions, I've also had the opportunity to invite some of my customers. I believe it is a valuable (and fun) experience for them as well. Being treated like royalty for a few days is a nice experience, but what you take out of the trip can help you in ways you might not expect.
I will be writing about some of these excursions (and probably not do them any justice), so check back soon.
