vure fields and have spent the last 10 years at Provident as a Technical Sales Representative, National Sales Manager and Technical Manager. “The learning process never stops. I continue to learn, evolve and build knowledge and skill after 37 plus years in the industry. When I first became a supervisor in 1994 it was a challenge as a young manager to earn the respect and gain the buy-in of my team, many of whom had 40 plus years of industry experience. Moving from daily pro- duction life into Sales and Service was also a challenge.” Enjoying A Challenge “I was initially drawn to Provident after a company sale; I was looking for a fresh start and a longtime representative suggested to me that I would be a good fit for technical sales and introduced me to Andy Gillis, Provident’s Vice President & General Manager,” Jasper continued. “I rel- ished this challenge and continue to love the sales world, especially working with current and new customers and partnering with them in making process improvements.” To ensure he is meeting customers’ needs, Jasper said, “There is no substitute for getting in front of the customer, building the relationship and having in-depth conversa- tions on how you can assist them in being successful. I measure success by continuing to gain trust and increase business; in the end the numbers tell the story. “Press crew education and training to improve knowl- edge of proper installation and application have been some great experiences I’ve had working with clients. Josh Packaging and Sealed Air & Garlock are just a few of the clients that parlayed this training into Total Cost Value by increasing uptime and reducing waste. “ A True Partner Jasper lists his skills that help aid his customers as: Ac- count Management; Flexo & Gravure Print Specialist; Con- tinuous Improvement Guru; Lean Manufacturing Certified; and Manufacturing & Sales Management. “Provident is the press rooms’ true partner,” he con- cludes. “We bring value-added knowledge to our custom- er’s company because our team all came out of flexo op- erations. Our products are the best in the industry, and our culture is that of a client first attitude. I love working with this team because there is mutual respect that focuses on facts. We take pride in delivering for our clients.” Keith Wisnefske , Technical Sales Representative Mid- west & Central Plaines Region , served for 20 years as a pressman, 10 years as a Process Engineer, and nearly 10 years as a Technical Sales Representative “Understanding the vast world of printing is the biggest challenge in this industry,” Wisnefske said. “Running a press for 20 years tends to keep you in a bubble of what is out there for the different technologies. The last 20 years
Nothing’s more rewarding than a couple made for each other.
