| | Apr 11, 2011 — Congratulations go out to Sam Cropsey of Marcellus, MI on his promotion from Sales Representative to Sales Manager at Fab Masters Company, a premier aluminum extrusion fabricator in southwestern Michigan.
Jim Troxell, Vice President of Fab Masters says,” Sam has done an exceptional job with understanding and researching what Fab Masters is great at and finding customers that fit that profile. He puts a tremendous amount of time and effort in the projects he pursues for us and has a very successful track record of putting these projects’ in the WIN column for Fab Masters Co. He will be a strong leader and his knowledge of the business will benefit his associates who work with and under his direction.”
A graduate from Western Michigan University with degrees in Business Administration and Marketing, Sam worked for Revlon Corp. as an outside sales representative for seven years, followed by operating on his own, as a manufacturer’s representative before coming to Fab Masters Company.
Hired in 2001, Sam was quickly promoted to the sales department as Quoting Assistant, due to his exceptional organizational skills in completely turning the shipping department around in six months. His drive and customer relation skills landed accounts with Am General as welding suppliers, and Utilimaster, which Fab Masters Co. still holds. From 2005 to 2009, Sam worked for R & H Machine in Three Rivers, gaining a more varied knowledge of fabrication, and then returned to the Fab Masters sales department.
Sam is defiantly on top of his game, presently representing an 18 state district for Fab Masters, and has recently cultivated a relationship with Sapa Corp., which is looking very fruitful. He keeps his stride by staying focused on priorities, and has no major changes planned for his department in the near future. He would like to implement more training, which he believes facilitates opportunity and growth. Some of his short-term goals are to tighten up focus and sharpen directives that will concentrate on efficiency for both company and customers, and improve sales dollar projections to gauge backlog movement and future shipment growth more effectively. He said,” We need to be more efficient and innovative in order to survive foreign competition.” Having these priorities in focus, he has and will continue to bring growth to Fab Masters Company. | |
