Quality Bolt Plans to Double Annual Sales Volume with ThomasNet
Phil Meister,
Data Systems Manager for Quality Bolt
& Screw in Brecksville, Ohio, says, "Over the next 5
years, we're looking forward to the ability to broaden our industry presence
around the world, and to compete in the world economy. We should be able to
double our annual sales volume…"
A family-owned business with 41 employees, Quality Bolt & Screw
currently boasts annual sales of $10-12 million. The company's association
with ThomasNet has been a success story from the very beginning, according
to Meister. "Our ThomasNet representative [J. Greg Grandillo] initially
approached us and met with David [David Jendre, president and owner of Quality
Bolt & Screw]. David was convinced this was the best way to go. We're
a small company, and up until that point we had spent very little on
advertising. We were ready to grow with the changing times and the new
world economy, and we were so impressed with all the creative and positive
things that ThomasNet had done for other companies like ours. It was perfect
timing."
Quality Bolt & Screw currently takes full advantage of ThomasNet's many
Internet marketing solutions, including an online catalog and a completely
redesigned website. Meister says, "[Before ThomasNet], we had a website, but
it didn't knock your socks off. Now, it's attractive and dynamic -- and we're
so impressed with ThomasNet's ability to get us noticed on the search
engines."
Meister adds, "Together, we really came up with the perfect solutions for
Quality Bolt and we've committed to working with ThomasNet and continuing this
positive relationship for the next 5 years minimum!... We look at ThomasNet as
our sales force. As far as our association with ThomasNet goes, we believe in
it and we trust in it. We'll analyze what it tells us and we'll grow with it."
