"When
we started the company, we thought there was a
need for a group of hardworking, hard hitting
salesmen not just to write an order, but
also to go out and do marketing,
sales promotions, advertising and be of service
to the customer. It hasn’t changed; it’s the
same today."
-- George B. Stumpp,
Founder

Integrity,
hard work, maturity, knowledge, success
that’s what it takes to be the best.
G. B. Stumpp & Associates' mission statement is "to grow our manufacturers'
market share." And it is this value system that G.B. Stumpp
& Associates has held steadfast for over 56
years. The firm's ability to achieve -- and
even exceed -- expectations is well
documented. (See manufacturer's
testimonials for details.)
The commitment
to manufacturers is genuine: When G.B. Stumpp
& Associates represents a product line,
the firm personifies the manufacturer at every
level of sales contact, communicating product
information, company policies, and general
good will.
The
organization has built its reputation
on
honest ambition, detailed service
and vigorous promotion. But its continuing
success hinges on the knowledge and respect
that its representatives bring to the products
that they handle. Take for instance, Jack
Hughes, a five time member of the All-American
trap team.
Jack epitomizes
the firm's approach to marketing. He contends,
"You have to have the knowledge of
product to sell. The best way to gain a deep
understanding is through personal use...
taking it apart and putting it back together,
and knowing all of its ins and outs. And once
you have this knowledge, you can impart your
confidence in the product to yours
distributors. And if they feel comfortable,
safe and confident in the product, then
the distributor wants to sell the product for you."
