Scott Mueller, Indoff Promotional Products Partner from Minneapolis, Minnesota, received the prestigious Bill Pedersen Memorial Award at Indoff’s recent National Sales Meeting held in St. Louis, Missouri. Given annually to the Sales Partner who best exemplifies the “true Partner spirit”, Mueller is the first Promotional Products Partner to be honored in the 8 year history of the award.

“I am honored to receive such a significant award and am especially proud to be the first Promo Partner to receive it,” said Mueller. “It’s amazing to be chosen from nearly 400 top-notch professionals that call themselves Indoff Partners.”Mueller gives credit to the entire group of Promotional Products Partners. “Hats off to my fellow Partners—my success is based on their success. In the true spirit of the Indoff Partner Program, they don’t have to use specific vendors, but they support the key suppliers we have identified and we all reap the benefits of these wonderful supplier partnerships. The way we work makes us the best kept secret in the industry. Indoff’s Promo division will continue to grow and prosper thanks to our great Sales Partners,” said Mueller.

“Scott was a great choice for the award” said Jim Malkus, President of Indoff. “Scott works tirelessly to help coordinate the efforts of our entire Promotional Products group, and he does it because he believes in the Indoff program and his fellow Partners.”

Indoff is a sales organization headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with nearly 400 Sales Partners in its four divisions – material handling and storage products, office interiors, office supplies and promotional products.

The event began with an opening meeting and reception on Thursday, renewing acquaintances and friendships. Friday was Vendor Day, with over 50 seminars held on Friday morning and a trade show with 130 booths on Friday afternoon. Saturday continued with educational seminars hosted by Partners and corporate staff, ending with a Grand Assembly followed by an awards dinner.

“The weekend is exhausting but incredibly valuable to our Company,” said Jim Malkus, President of Indoff. “The exchange of ideas and solutions is invaluable to our Partners in servicing their customers."

The Company announced its continuing commitment to add additional Partners, and the weekend highlighted successful Partners, successful initiatives and new opportunities. Twenty-six million dollar Partners were honored on Saturday evening, and the Saturday seminars in particular allowed some of these Partners to share their strategies and service initiatives.

The positive feedback throughout the weekend was overwhelming. Bill Moser, a business products Partner from Las Vegas, said, “This is the best meeting I’ve ever been to, ever. There were so many smiling faces and gung-hoe attitudes. You couldn’t help but to feel exhilarated.”

The plaque, which acknowledges Indoff as a Premier $1 Million Dollar Distributor will be housed at the corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO. Indoff would like to thank the Material Handling Partners who contributed to this success.

In March 2007, these sites are generating over 1,000 unique visitors to indoff.com on a daily basis. 

Colin Faulkingham, Vice President of e-Marketing for Indoff, says “We are thrilled with the Partners’ adoption rate, and we are convinced that as more sites come on line, the referrals and leads generated for our Partners will grow exponentially."
