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.
Alan King…This is his Story.
I can’t really tell you if I found Signtronix or if Signtronix found me. It doesn’t really matter much. All I can really say is that I’m glad we found each other. It has been a life changing event for me.
I started my sales career in the automobile business and if you’ve ever been connected to that industry, then you know how much of a nightmare it can be. Long hours and having to work under some very stressful conditions led to many problems in my life. I knew for a long time that the car business was not where God wanted me to be, but it was the only thing I knew and I was good at what I did. I was raised in the shadow of the car business, my dad being a car dealer himself, so I thought it was my lot in life. Then one day I took a stand and made a promise to myself that I would walk away from the car business and never look back.
Thank God for monster.com! I spent several days going over the different sales positions on the monster website and read the information about Signtronix. I called the number and ended up talking to one of the greatest men I’ve ever known; a man that I haven’t even had the pleasure of meeting yet. But, he described to me over the phone a lot about the company and what he had to say was very interesting. His name is Vernie Boren, and he’s a very good salesman! He sold me over the phone in about ten minutes. I was convinced after thirty minutes on the phone with him that Signtronix would more than likely be my new home. He gave me Lance Pelton’ phone number and I made an appointment with him the very next day. The rest as they say is history.
I was a bit apprehensive when I first studied the Signtronix program. But, I learned the ten step presentation and now I’m selling more signs than I can keep up with. It’s CRAZY! And I’m making some CRAZY money! It’s not all about the money though. It’s about feeling good about what you’re doing. We who work for Signtronix are actually helping other people succeed in their businesses. I read a quote by Zig Zigler one time and it has always stayed with me. He said, “If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want”. That is so true! He is also who inspired me to make my first 100,000 in one year. I accomplished that goal in the car business, but if I continue at the rate I am right now with Signtronix, I will make well over 200,000 this year. My first year with the company! Wow! By the way, “Wow” is my favorite thing to hear when I pull that cover off of our sample sign. That customer is as good as done if you stick to the program.
I want to say that none of this would be possible without the power and grace of God as He expresses Himself through the Person of Jesus Christ! Am I perfect? Well, if I were, then we wouldn’t need Jesus would we? But I am a work in progress and it just keeps getting better and better every day. He has put so many wonderful people in my life. I have a wonderful family and will have my first child at the end of July; a baby girl named Alannah. So therefore, I tip my hat to the Maker of the stars, and believe me, there’s a lot of stars at Signtronix. My special thanks to Vernie Boren, Lance Pelton, Steve Harms and Macie Condra. You guys are the reason that I am doing so well.
