There was a time when the lines of separation between manufacturer, applicator and enduser were clearly drawn. In short, there were vendors and there were customers. Period.
That was then, this is now. Today's hyper-speed, information-driven business climate can no longer function efficiently on yesterday's model. At Sherwin-Williams, we have always believed that developing true partnerships with our customers and end-users is vital to ensuring coatings project success.
Brad Joyce, President of Professional Industrial Coatings points out how his local Sherwin-Williams store manager; corrosion specification specialist; and sales representative have redefined the role of supplier. He explains that together, they have become integral members of his sales, marketing and application teams.
"It's almost like I have employees that I don't have to pay," says Joyce.
There are many similar stories. A contractor saves time and money on a large repaint project of a manufacturing facility by consulting closely with a Sherwin-Williams sales representative. And our technical support will help ensurethat a revered aircraft carrier will glimmer proudly for years to come in its role as a museum in Charleston, S. Car.
The fact is, our customers receive more than outstanding products and services from Sherwin-Williams. They gain a dedicated partner who is willing to blur the lines.
