🍂☀️ Good morning and happy fall Tuesday, everyone!
I want to kick off this beautiful morning with a BIG SBM THANK YOU to our newest partners in business, Annawan Community Unit School District #226 in Annawan, IL! 🙌🏼🏫
This past summer, I stopped into their quaint K–12 school and, to my surprise, ran into an old friend who just so happened to be their Administrative Secretary! After catching up, I learned they were experiencing a few frustrations with their current office equipment provider.
Well, that's where SBM comes in! 😎
After some great conversations, we were given the opportunity to put together a proposal for their ENTIRE fleet of office equipment, including:
🖨️ 5 Sharp Multifunction Printers (MFPs)
🖨️ 5 Printers
🗑️ 1 Big Ol' Paper Shredder!
All designed to help keep their school operations running smoothly, efficiently, and with dependable service they can count on!
We are UBER EXCITED to have earned their trust and business, and even more excited to become their go-to team for all things office equipment, technology, and service! 💚
A very special thank you to Erin Van Unnik for opening the door and giving us this opportunity. We truly appreciate your confidence in SBM, and we won't let you down!
One of my FAVORITE parts of being in outside sales isn't just the equipment or closing a deal. It's the people! Getting to meet new faces, build lasting friendships, help businesses overcome challenges, and, every once in a while, reconnect with an old friend. That's what makes this job so rewarding! 🤝
And last but certainly not least, a BIG thank you to a few of the school's wonderful faculty members, Mrs. Heitzler, and Lin, and Erin's lovely daughters for being such great sports and helping us show off those fancy new Sharp machines! 📸👏🏼
Welcome to the SBM family, Annawan CUSD #226! We're looking forward to a fantastic partnership for years to come!
💚 At SBM, we don't just sell office equipment. We build relationships, solve problems, and stand behind our service!
