- In the promotional products industry, we are often overlooked until the last minute. My role involved building relationships based on the trust that I have the expertise to guide customers to the right products for their needs. I was responsible to reaching out to the customer, monitoring the progress of production and shipping, then contacting the customer to ensure the order was what they expected. I would follow that with building a schedule with the customer of when their next need for an order would be to help them stay ahead.
