“In our experience, the promo industry has been everyone for themselves, paranoid to share and help one another in fear of the client being taken away. We are “pay it forward” kind of guys with a thirst for learning, and desire to give back after 25+ years in sales. So we built our own tight-knit, collaborative community and support network that simply didn’t exist in the promo industry. Hello Swa
g Community! We are promo sales reps and distributors just like you. We are also business junkies and Kool-aid drinking entrepreneurs, with a thirst for learning and a desire to achieve great success. Between the two of us, we have helped launch and build over 25 companies, sold tens of millions of swag to our own clients, and coached/mentored 100’s of entrepreneurs. We love coaching and sharing what we have learned (& continue to learn) over our careers. And our experience is pretty diverse … from strategic, question based selling to targeting a vertical (niche) market and selling company stores, from managing a team of 50+ to setting up a business model with no employees, recurring revenue streams and outsourced back office systems, we have a ton of best practices we share with our Swag Coach community, and the promo industry at large. In March of 2020, we launched a bi-weekly webinar and podcast series called “Distributors Helping Distributors” (aka “DHD”). The goal - to help promo distributors stay positive, motivated and focused - by providing real value and lessons learned from the topics we discuss and the experts we host each DHD show. We are determined to help distributors and reps in our industry get more sales, be more effective and have more fun. With work and in life! We are elevating our industry and together, building a community with distributors who are willing to help support one another in what can sometimes feel like a very lonely and isolated profession. In May of 2020 we launched our first SC Small Group Coaching class, providing a coaching and accountability meeting platform for promo distributors in need of sales training, strategy and structure. Much like “group therapy for swagapreneurs”, Small Group Coaching provides hands-on support, and educational workshops, helping our members take their sales and businesses to the next level. And yes, just like you, we still sell on the front line, and have own clients we service. It’s how we are able to stay relevant and current on industry best sales practices which we bring back to our Swag community! We love the promo industry and want to help you grow your sales and find the levels of success we have each had and enjoyed. We hope you will consider joining us, and our community, and participate in our of our Swag Coach Programs in the near future. We promise it will be well worth your time! Josh & Mike
