I recently had the honor of accepting the Gold Award for service on behalf of ASI at the 23rd<\/sup> annual Proforma Convention and Family Reunion in Las Vegas.\u00a0 This is <\/strong>the second year in a row ASI received this prestigious recognition.<\/p>\n

This award, which is voted on by owners, is particularly gratifying because it recognizes the hard work and dedication of over 400 ASI employees who create, develop and support the many business tools and education resources Proforma owners use every day to grow their sales.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had the privilege of being one of ASI\u2019s contacts for the Proforma organization for more than 15 years, and I\u2019m proud to be a part of the relationship we\u2019ve developed. At the conference, I spoke to many owners who raved about their ASI services and support \u2013 and it reminded me of how fortunate I am to be a part of the ASI team.<\/p>\n

Proforma is the second-largest distributor firm in the U.S. and now has more than 1,500 personnel using ESP to help clients with sourcing, idea generation and presentations. Proforma LogoMall sites get close to 1 million hits each month from end-buyers shopping for promotional items and ideas.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the great comments I heard from owners:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI could not run my business without <\/em>ASI<\/em> or <\/em>ESP<\/em>,\u201d <\/em>said Sherry Novelli of Proforma Cornerstone Concepts. \u201cMy ability to source products for my clients and quickly turn those products into an online presentation has been the most invaluable tool for operating my business. I love you guys and the partnership we share.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“Without <\/em>ASI<\/em> and LogoMall, I would not be able to share with our customers such a vast number of available products<\/em>,\u201d said Sherry Kennedy of Proforma A-Z Specialties. \u201cThe office loves <\/em>ESP<\/em> because we can search for current pricing or product information and have immediate results.\u00a0 I cannot tell you how many orders I can attribute to both of these products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMy business has benefited tremendously from the many technology tools that <\/em>ASI<\/em> offers,\u201d <\/em>said Luis Ostos of Proforma DCS. \u201cOur clients love the option of being able to do product research on their own time, from anywhere, by using LogoMall. And <\/em>ESP<\/em> Web offers my team the same flexibility, at the office or on the road, to research and present to our clients the information they request quickly and professionally.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you, Proforma owners \u2013 we will continue to work hard to bring solutions that drive more promotional sales. And, congratulations to all my colleagues at ASI for the great support you provide our clients each and every day.<\/p>\n
