Today we’d like to introduce you to Eileen And Jerr Chiat.
Hi Eileen and Jerr, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was working as a credit manager for an engineering company due to a downturn in business I was laid off. Went on unemployment and looked for new work. Answered an ad for a promotional company. Signed a non- compete agreement. in 1982 worked there until 1985. I was warned not to sell previous customers. Hired a lawyer to fight for me. He only had one question, why did you sign it which he asked 3 times. Now to cut to the chase. I had been going to networking and had cards made calls and started getting sales with another promotional company. In 1992 started Acclaimed Promotions. Haven’t looked back since. Sales were steady. Still have clients since then.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The economy was steady and kept going to networking and other events for leads.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We offer a plethora of over 2 million imprint products including apparel, items for any client as reasonable prices and good service.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Listening and knowing as much about the businesses sold and people working with. I have a sense of humor and a broad understanding of the businesses and the people who I work with.
