What makes selling at 1st Ayd different? Just ask salesperson David Jelneck!

In this clip, David shares what he appreciates most about working at 1st Ayd: the freedom to focus on what he does best, selling. With minimal paperwork, no micromanagement, and the ability to run his territory like his own business, he has the support of a larger company while maintaining independence.

He also shares the excitement of our sales meetings, from connecting with vendors to learning about new products and ideas.

As David puts it, “We’re here to sell!”

🎉 Celebrating 17 Years with Julie Fitzgerald!

We’re celebrating Julie Fitzgerald and her 17 years as an important part of our Purchasing team!

To help everyone get to know Julie a little better, we asked her a few fun questions about her favorite foods, how she spends her weekends, and what she’s been watching lately. Here’s what she had to say:

Favorite food or go-to restaurant?
“I love Potato Pierogi’s. Right now my go-to spot to get them is Garden on Main in Algonquin.”

Favorite weekend activity?
“Walking and visiting with friends and family while the weather allows.”

Favorite movie or TV show?
“We just finished a series called Resident Alien and are finishing up The Bear. Two totally different shows but so enjoyable!”

Congratulations, Julie, on 17 years with 1st Ayd! We appreciate everything you do and are happy to celebrate this milestone with you!
