Eric Fidler joined the Value Vinyls team in September, 2019 as the National Sales Manager and recently joined Value Vinyls' Executive Team. We sat down with him for our 2 minute Employee Spotlight.

##### *How long have you been in sales?*

"I have been enthusiastically involved in sales and sales management for over 30 years."

##### *What personal attributes have you contributed towards your success in sales?*

"Persistence, patience, accountability and a genuine desire to help the customer."

##### *What is one tip you would give someone who is interested in pursuing a career in sales?*

"Listen. Actively listen to your customers and prospective customers. If given the space, they will share with you the areas where your products and services can be of help to them."

##### *What motivated you to join the executive team at Value Vinyls?*

"I have tremendous respect for each of the members of the executive team. I feel very fortunate to have been invited to join the team and I look forward to doing all I can to contribute in a meaningful way. Value Vinyls is an amazing company of incredibly talented individuals."

##### *When you have downtime, what do you enjoy doing?*

"In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and skiing. With all of the golfers on the sales team, I just may have to dig out my clubs."

##### *How would you sell hot chocolate in Florida in the summer?*

"People in Florida are still drinking hot coffee and hot tea in the summer, so I would start with them. I would promote hot chocolate as an option. I would also market to those that are current hot chocolate drinkers. And finally, I would pitch a distribution agreement to Starbucks, since they have nearly 700 stores in Florida, and they have had some success selling hot drinks year-round in Florida."
