"Be your best, authentic YOU! You do You! Live your BEST life!" Words I live by every single day~
My favorite word is BUBBLES - I cannot say that without laughing or smiling!
A fun background story about how I got into the Promotional Products industry. When my son Cole, business namesake and now a partner in the company, was just 2 years old, I was a stay at home Mom but I was looking to make a little extra income on the side and still be able to stay home and raise him. Before "remote" was even a word in the world of working, I put an ad out on good 'ol Craigslist to offer up my experience with secretarial work, in hopes I could work "from home". High hopes but why not, right? Within days, I was approached by 2 self starter entrepreneurs, looking to hire someone to sell their product they were marketing to distributors in the Promotional Products industry. Having no clue what Promotional Products even were, I graciously accepted their offer to take a train to the city to interview with them. After 3 years of working with this team, I decided it was time to become a distributor and be my own entrepreneur. Now 15+ years in the industry, I have developed great relationships with suppliers that allows me preferred pricing to pass along to you.
It has also been a dream and goal of mine to build this business up and to partner with my son Cole and pass along this legacy to him. He is currently attending college for a Masters degree in Business and Marketing.
I love people! I love talking! I love helping! I love branding! And I love coaching! With that, I am here to work with you on helping to promote your brand and your business.
