Meet Our Staff – Chris Brabb

by Leave a Comment

Chris-Brabb-bm-content-1In a growing business such as ours, a steady stream of new employees helps to keep everything running smoothly. One of our more recent hires is Chris Brabb. Chris is currently our Fastback Specialist for the Eugene, Oregon, area, just a few hours south of our Hillsboro headquarters. We are thrilled to have him as part of our team.

Before making the switch to MyBinding, Chris worked for ten years as the Director of Marketing for the nonprofit Step Forward Activities. They employ people with disabilities to do manufacturing jobs and house them in group homes. Chris was responsible for dealing with government contracts, advising government councils on policies relating to disabilities, and oversaw marketing and sales growth.

While he may be new to the binding industry, Chris is really excited for the opportunity to learn and expand his skill set. Much of what he learned at the NPO will be useful in his new position as Fastback Specialist. Especially useful tools include developing business relationships, confidence in both himself and the product he’s selling, and an overall genial personality.

Chris will be serving the Southern Oregon market, which is where he’s from. He will be working to educate people on finding the right tools for the job and assisting them in putting their best foot forward.

With Chris’s quick wit and charismatic smile, we think he will have no problems succeeding here at MyBinding.com.

MyBindingBlog-bm-content-1MyBinding.com, a rapidly growing Inc. 5000 company, adds a new sales representative to their expanding roster of employees

 

HILLSBORO, OR, OCTOBER 25, 2011 – MyBinding.com, one of the nation’s leading Internet retailers of document finishing equipment and supplies, has hired two new sales representatives to serve the greater Seattle, Washington area. One of the new employees is John Killeen, a 2010 graduate of Gonzaga University, who will be serving as a Fastback Specialist.

 

“I’m very pleased to be a part of the MyBinding.com team,” said Killeen, citing the company’s family-like atmosphere and dedication to its customers as his favorite aspects of the business. “I’m still being trained but I can tell that this is a great place to work.”

 

As a Fastback Specialist, Killeen, a Seattle native, will sell the lineup of Powis Parker Fastback binding machines and supplies to businesses and organizations in the area around his hometown. The Fastback lineup includes the Fastback 20, a popular state-of-the-art tape binding machine. Killeen, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing and Business Administration, is confident he has the skills to effectively sell these unique products.

 

“MyBinding.com is known for having a great lineup of products and Fastback is just one example,” said Killeen. “I’m confident that I can help the company increase its sales of these machines.”

 

MyBinding.com is having a banner year, having been awarded a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States. The company now has over 50 employees and is poised to continue growing.

“We have had a very successful year and our employees have definitely helped make it happen,” said Jeff McRitchie, MyBinding.com’s Vice-President of Marketing. “We are proud to have people like Killeen on our team who can help us continue to grow.”

Hillsboro, OR, United States, 04/12/2011 – MyBinding, a division of Information Management Services, LCC, announces that they’re ready to start shipping the new Fastback 20 binding machine from Powis Parker – https://www.MyBindingBlog.com.

https://www.MyBinding.com, one of the country’s leading Internet retailers of document finishing machines and supplies, has announced that they’re now selling the all new Fastback 20 tape binding machine from Powis Parker. The machine is a step up from Powis Parker’s Fastback 15 in many ways, said Jeff McRitchie, Vice-President of Marketing for MyBinding.com.

“We’re extremely excited to be selling the Fastback 20,” said McRitchie. “This is a machine that has many of the same features of the 15xs but it takes things in an entirely new direction.”

Like the Fastback 15, the 20 can bind hard- and softcover documents that are up to 350 pages long and it’s compatible with other Powis Parker products including the Foilfast Printer. However, unlike the 15, the 20 offers a new, lightweight design and a graphic user interface for easy operation. McRitchie says that the 20 can work with the Fastback Edge Splitter (for use with glossy stock) as well as Image Strips, which can be fully customized with a company’s logo and brand. The 20 also has an SD card slot to make it easy to upgrade the firmware. It also has a much lower price point than the Fastback 15.

“The Fastback 20 is one of the most exciting, user-friendly, affordable machines Powis Parker has produced,” said McRitchie. “We’re ready to start shipping it now and are also happy to answer any questions about it.”

MyBinding.com, a division of Information Management Services, LCC, wins a major sales award from document finishing company Powis Parker.

HILLSBORO, OR, January 19, 2011 – MyBinding.com, one of the country’s leading retailers of document finishing equipment and supplies, recently announced that they were awarded the coveted Powis Parker 2010 Award of Merit for increased sales. The company was recently presented with the award at a national dealers meeting in Berkeley, California.

“We are very proud of this great honor,” said Cory Ware, one of the owners of MyBinding.com. “We really enjoy working with Powis Parker and are thrilled to have the support of such an innovative company.”

In 2010, MyBinding.com dramatically increased their sales of Powis Parker products which include bookbinding machines and supplies. MyBinding.com was able to increase their sales by 12% through the aggressive expansion of their sales force. Not only did they increase their number of sales representatives in the field from five to nine, they were also afforded exclusive distribution rights in Idaho and Utah. The company plans to start selling Powis Parker products in more states in 2011.

“We have a great sales team and we couldn’t be happier with what they’ve done for us,” said Ware. “Without them, we wouldn’t be as successful as we are. They go out in the field to demonstrate how these products work and how they can help the company or organization improve the way it presents their documents and presentations.”

One of the main successes the company has enjoyed is having partnered with a regional bank that has more than 30 locations. The MyBinding.com sales team has provided almost all of the branches with Powis Parker systems and related supplies.

Powis Parker is headquartered in Berkeley, California and was founded by Kevin Powis Parker in 1983. The company manufactures the successful lineup of Fastback binding machines as well as foil printers, scoring machines, and various binding supplies. The products are popular with marketing firms, publishers, accountants, and schools.

“Powis Parker is a great company and we have a terrific relationship with them,” said Ware. “We’re very proud to sell their excellent products to companies and organizations that want to present themselves in the best possible light.”
