Coach's Corner
by Fred Albrecht

Happy Friday to everyone. September is rolling along and we are seeing some great fall gift orders. Most of the gift catalogs are in and will be on their way to you early next week. The last 6 months have been challenging at the home office with the announcement that two of our awesome employees have decided to be "at home moms". While we were prepared as we hired two additional CSRs last spring planning for growth, we want to let you know that we continue to be committed to staffing our team for growth. We recently hired two new CSRs, both college graduates with 5-7 years of work experience and fresh energy to bring to our team. They will be training over the next 60 days and will make an immediate impact on our ability to continue to grow. Next week, watch for your August Sales leaders, you will see some new members of our top leader board. Keep up the hard work, your efforts are paying off with more profitable sales than ever before. If you have not jumped on the bandwagon by personalizing a white board video for yourself, you should. It is an awesome marketing tool. Don't miss the chance to attend a webinar this week hosted by Screaming Bob showing you how to use the video to market yourself.

Success Stories- Jan Davies WiMe Group

Seamgen's POLOS - HUGE HIT WITH CEO!!!

I'm still beaming!!

This is a client that had once been at my other account FusionStorm, she went on to become the Marketing Manager for this company called SEAMGEN.

Our first order with them was for 50 dry wicking polos. We did a dry wicking Nike from SanMar.
Here was here comment to me in an email:

** On another note, our CEO just came up to me and said that all of the employees have been commenting on the polo he has been wearing and that he decided to give all the remaining polos away to employees, which means we will be placing another order of the same polos for our clients.  Let me get back to you on those numbers, I'll follow up with you shortly.

They are also doing a run of tee shirts next and have events planned through the end of the year.

 

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

The point of this article is simple: We want to work alongside you more. Ashlei and myself are your inside sales team, and we want you to get to know a little about us, so you know who you'll be dealing with on a regular basis.

Above is a photo with our contact info and pictures included. We also decided to include a couple pictures that portrays what we're all about: which is our kids. Ashlei has a 4 year old and a 6 month old; London and Hannah.  I have a 2 week old, Cameron. Ashlei is an All American Girl from Texas where she resides and works out of, and I'm a Chinese/Taiwanese American raised in Los Angeles, CA working here in our corporate office in Orange County. We're both designated to serve Proforma. We even share the same email address, so you just have to remember one: premier@logomark.com.

Below is a quick, fun read about what your Premier Team can do for you. This is just the outer shell of our capabilities: (Click on the image to the left for a full size flyer)

1. Ashlei and I are assigned to service your account. We'll always work hard to get you what you need.  You no longer have to worry about who to speak with and from what department. You no longer have to worry about conflicting information or uncertain information. Ashlei and I will be detailed and on top of your needs.

2. Advantage 24: We have a free 24 hour rush service. This will be CRUCIAL during the holidays.

3. Discounted shipping:  Logomark discounts all ground shipments east of the Mississippi river.  We can even ship 3 day air @ ground rates for you.

4. Samples Policy:  Logomark offers Proforma Albrecht reps $17.00 [c] worth of free samples a day, and free ground shipping on those samples.  You just have to order online.  

5. State of the art decoration and quality products: Challenges come up every once in awhile as all suppliers will experience. But when it comes to quality products and quality imprints, Logomark rarely has an issue.  We're also one of the first suppliers to be QCA certified.

6. Free Vignettes, flyers, and other marketing material:  We can create custom sell sheets with your customers' logo on products of your choosing or of our suggestions. I've attached a couple samples of our award winning Vignette presentations.  Test us out.

We'd really love to hear from you.  I think you might be my only avenue in reaching all of your staff.  Please share!  Again, I'm thankful that you've read this far into my articlel.  I hope to speak with you soon.
