CJ Schmidt

VP of Sales/Owner of Hit Promotional Products, a top 10 supplier in the promotional products industry. Hit is the largest family owned operation in the industry. Our product selection ranges from inexpensive pens to folding chairs and high end umbrellas. I consider us the Wal Mart of the promotional product industry as we have a little bit of everything at the right price w/ the right amount of stock on hand. Hit has been the beneficiary of numerous industry awards over the years, including ASI Supplier of the Year in 2010. CJ’s personal accolades include being on the Hot List in 2008, and recently one of PPAI’s 12 Rising Stars in 2011.


 
What I can do for Promokitchen: bring a new youthful dynamic to our industry. The biggest change our industry needs to make is to be more transparent b/w the supplier/distributor/end user relationship. The more we all know about one another the better. I would also love to be involved in the mentoring process in hopes of my peers experiencing some of the same success that I have over the past couple of years.

    What motivates me: I never want one of my customers to have to experience any hardships in dealing with my company. If a problem arises, I do everything humanly possible to mitigate any issues that they may have to experience. In addition, failure is not an option in that there is always a possible resolution.
