Every Regional Manager, District Manager and Dealer has a story of how they started at Signtronix. Knowing where we came from gives us a strong foundation to build on, to grow from and to know exactly where we want to go.
DM of the Indiana Timberwolves, Matthew Theriault-Thompson… This is his story.
From Dealer to District Manager, Matthew Theriault Thompson has been a continuous success for the Indiana Timberwolves. He’s a hard worker and believes in Signtronix.
When Matthew first came to Signtronix, he had just left his previous position with a tiny tradeshow company. It was a “great opportunity” with little means to succeed. The company owner told him three days before payday (and five days before rent) that the company was out of money, and his base-pay was not going to be on the check. It was time to find something else IMMEDIATELY.
In his search, Matthew saw this crazy ad in the newspaper about getting paid immediately and making $1,500 to $3,000 a week. Figuring “it’s at least worth a call,” he spoke with Dave Grosmann’s wife, Kathy, and decided to interview. He spent three hours with Jerry Stern and Dave Grosmann, and they told him he could make $100,000 or better a year. Matthew decided that even if they were 2/3s full of baloney, he could still take care of his family on $33,000 a year! Matthew now says, “The only thing full of baloney was my thinking!”
What has the Signtronix opportunity made available for Matthew and his family? They’ve bought their first home. His wife, Melissa, can continue staying home with their beautiful daughter. They’ve caught up on bills (they were two to three months behind when they first started). Matthew and Melissa can date again, and he’s even able to take her on shopping trips now! “This is the dream opportunity made real.” Not only does he make great money now, he looks forward to retirement with the NESOP. “I can build personal wealth to take care of us in retirement!” Matthew said. With every other job he’s ever worked, eventually the point came where he learned the “truth behind the hype.” It wasn’t pretty. Matthew says, “This is the opportunity where each time I learn something new the opportunity only gets BETTER!”
Matthew’s drive and success thus far has inspired many who know him. He will continue leading his district and encouraging those around him. He’ll be working even harder to provide for his growing family… they are expecting TWIN boys! Congratulations! Thank you for your continued example of hard work and a true Signtronix attitude!
