Earp & Waldrip
is a sales organization structured to allow us
to represent Manufacturers as they would represent
themselves.
It is our belief that honesty
and high ethical standards are the foundation
of all successful businesses. These standards
have been and will continue to be an inseparable
part of our organization.
We recognize that a Manufacturer's
future, as well as our own is based on profitability.
To this end we pledge our best effort to enhance
Manufacturer's product mix in order to maximize
profits.
Earp & Waldrip recognizes
that it is difficult to adequately market a Manufacturer's
product without having a thorough knowledge of
the products and the policies of the company.
We, therefore, pledge ourselves to a continuous
study of our Manufacturer's products. We encourage
our Manufacturers to aid us in this endeavor by
furnishing us with literature and samples for
study and invite our participation in the various
sales meetings and seminars they hold.
