EIGHT EXCEPTIONAL REPS WHO’VE STRUCK GOLD
IN THE PEOPLE BUSINESS
BY TINA BERRES FILIPSKI
K
NOWLEDGABLE. DEDICATED. HONEST. INFORMED.
CONNECTED. The best multi-line reps in the promotional products
industry live all of these attributes and more on a daily basis—and they are
always looking for ways to sharpen their skills and provide more value.
With extensive product knowledge and broad networks, they
provide a critical connection between suppliers who have products
and solutions, and distributors who need them. These energetic
professionals typically log at least 25,000 miles a year on the road
to serve up promotional solutions, product samples, creative ideas
and factory expertise to information-hungry distributors.
This month,
PPB
salutes the industry’s best multi-line reps
selected from 48 total nominations received from distributors
and suppliers. Together, these six multi-line rep companies rep-
resent almost 150 years of experience.
PPB
takes a look at why these eight individuals are so
exceptional and what they do to stay at the top of their game.
