After spending years cursing sales forces in general, having been on the production side of things, I made the switch to the dark side. Just kidding! Sales at Wilson made perfect sense when I looked at things closely. It is about building relationships, and my own personal goal to see that I am there for my customers. I like to see the gratitude that comes from customers knowing that I have their backs, and I want to see them succeed. Sales can be very rewarding when you realize just how much you can help.

After years of working with customers directly, estimating, purchasing, ordering, and fulfilling orders, I learned the core principle of being a partner & not just a supplier. The more that I can offer my customers & can become a resource, the stronger the relationship. The stronger the relationship, the more enjoyable my job is in general. Being a company that devoted time to R & D for their customers, I learned a lot about going the extra mile. I also was able to work with & learn a lot about offset staccato printing, digital pre-press & platemaking, booklet printing & stitching, and flexo printing. Once we started printing & producing onsert booklet labels, I was able to work with machinery implementation, and scheduling. I was ultimately responsible for a two press, flexo printing company. Since we were small, we dealt directly with our customers, continuing my relationship & inside sales role.

While working as Operations Manager, I also was responsible for ordering all of the material (stock, inks, dies, etc) to complete the orders that we received.

Worked with production to schedule and plan production jobs to maximize productivity and bring about lean manufacturing, and the sales department to insure customer satisfaction and on time deliveries.

maintained, kept accurate counts & inventory management of all physical assets (consisting of inks, paper, film, press supplies, anilox, rotary cutting dies, print cylinders, glue, coatings)

I dealt directly with our customers, keeping them up to date with all of their order information, scheduling to their delivery requirements, working inside with the production team and with an outside sales representative

I continued working with the printing industry, advertising displays, and flat bed die-cutting. Here I handled customers on a regular basis in an inside sales role, from estimating jobs, purchasing materials, entering orders, and coordinating the order through our plant. This was my true, first taste of dealing with my customers, and realizing that we are all in this together.

Enjoyed using my creativity & problem solving to design & build quality advertising displays and tools. I had the privilege of working on large stand up (human cut out) displays to small counter cards, for customers like Anheuser Busch to Graybar Electric, and a lot in between. I learned a lot about the lithography offset world, flexography, silkscreen printing, and digital. And as a last note, I was one of the "those guys" that designed the instructions that most people don't follow when putting something together :)
