Chris hasachieved unbelievable salesresults and has exceededevery sales record evergiven him! For the secret ofChris's success, "RGFNews" asked him for an exclusive interview.RGF: Chris, time is money, so let's get to the point. What'sthe secret?Chris: Well, I'll tell you the same thing I told Time,Newsweek, Business Week and Playboy: "There is no secret!The products sell themselves. You simply have to findthe people who need them and tell them about the RGFproducts they need and, Shazam! A sale is made. I call it my'find a need and fill it' concept."RGF: "Find a need and fill it." That's brilliant, Chris! Hey,this is off the record, but do you know how I can make a milliondollars?Chris: It's easy! Find a way to make something for $1.00and sell it for $2.00. Then do it a million times!RGF: Unbelievable! Brilliant! Awesome! Why didn't I thinkof that? Ok, back to business. How do RGF products sellthemselves?Chris: Well, that's simple! Let's take one product at a time.Guardian Air. This is a real no brainer.You simply find HVAC distributors whowant to get into the lucrative indoor airbusiness, like who doesn't! Then youshow them the results on mold, bacteria,odors, virus and VOC's. Then whenthey see the high-tech look, its just so easy, well Bozo theClown could sell it!Hey, let's scratch the Bozo line. I got a little carried away!RGF: Sure Chris, no problem! What else does RGF have?Chris: The Commercial AdvancedOxidation AirPurificationproducts areunreal! They areprice competitive,lightweight,require no maintenance,and come with a three or five-year warranty. It's toogood to be true! You simply can't lose a sale! The competitionon air systems is still using old PCO technology, Also,our Marine line, with the air purification product line. Boatsdo not have to run the air conditioning system 24 hours aday to prevent mold and mildew. Do you know how muchmoney that can save?! It's like a candy store! RGF has somany great, innovative industrial products, and now they'rebringing them to commercial market, restaurants,resorts, hotels, nail salons, medical officesand veterinarians. I could goon, but I'm getting a littleemotional. Could we moveon?RGF: Sure Chris. I would hate to see a grown man cry.That's Barbara Walter's thing, not mine. Let's move on. Howdid you end up at RGF?Chris: Well, it's kind of a natural transition. You see I've beenin sales for over 40 years. IAQ sales and Distribution is thenext step, and RGF is the perfect match! When I first visitedRGF four years ago, I started hyperventilating. It was quiteembarrassing at the time! Hey, how about cutting the hyperventilatingpart!RGF: So, when you say, "the next step," does that mean?Chris: We are seeking a few good dedicated distributors,who want to take cutting edge environmental commercialtechnology like RGF has supplement their current sales.So, you know what they say about opportunity: when itknocks, you better take advantage of it, as it doesn't knocktwice.RGF: I like that "opportunity knocks" quote. I'm going to writethat one down. So, how do you like RGF so far?Chris: Well, it's great! First, I love the weather and PalmBeach, not to mention my office. It's great - as nice as Ron'sonly it's 200 feet down the hall from Ron's office. That's 84
steps. It takes two and a half minutes in the morning, morein the afternoon. Sometimes I wonder if there is a hiddenmessage in this.Chris: Unlimited! If you objectively look at each product, ithas the competition beat, where there is competition. It isnow up to us sales professionals to make it happen.RGF: Chris, whom do you envy the most at RGF?RGF:Who are RGF's competitors?Chris: That's easy also! Walt Ellis, our VP/GM. These RGFproprietary Advanced Oxidation Systems have passed withflying colors the most rigid independent testing from the mostprestigious US Fortune 500 food companies, plus the USDA,FDA, UL and ETL! Walt has tons of independent documentationproving 99%+ bacteria and virus reduction on food, airand water. Think about it - Walt could be credited with savingthe world! He could be on "Larry King Live"!! Without RGFand Walt, the show might be called "Larry King Dead"!Wouldn't that be dull! Walt is a nice guy, but let's face it, anymoron could sell this stuff. Hey, I got a little carried awaythere. How about leaving out the moron bit? I eat lunch withWalt, you understand.Chris: That's the best part! We don't have any as EPRI(Electric Power Research Institute) wrote in their report: "RGF is the only environmental company with credible, fullturnkey service from technology applications to design, toengineering, to manufacturing, to construction, installationand ongoing monitoring," and we cover water, food and air.RGF:How does RGF stay ahead of the competition?Chris: R&D. More money is spent on engineering and R&Dthan sales, which makes my job all the more fun!RGF:Speaking of fun, is it fun to work at RGF?Chris: Yes, kind of like working at Southwest Airlines. It'snot only fun, it's downright weird! For example, when I cameon board, we had a "CCC" party on the company megayacht,which was fun but also weird. You see "CCC" standsfor chocolate and cheap champagne. Did you ever try towash chocolate down with cheap champagne? Hey, let'sleave out the "cheap champagne." Sharon picked the champagne.I don't want to get sued! You know how lawyers canbe!Walter EllisRGF: Sure, Chris, No problem. I understand. How aboutjealousy? Are you jealous of anyone at RGF?Chris: I'm glad you asked that question! It's Sharon Rinehimer,our staff attorney and VP of International BusinessDevelopment. Since I've been around, she has been toJapan four times, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, Peru,Mexico and Europe! I've been to Newark, Detroit, Peoria andDes Moines-period! Plus, she eats more than me and she isbone-thin! It's just not fair!RGF:Chris: No!Chris, should I leave anything out?RGF: I'm surprised she didn't get any attorney slams! So,what do you see for the future of RGF?RGF: Sure, Chris. It's your article. Anything you'd like toclose with?Chris: Yeah. If you're a potential superstar distributor andyou have the right stuff to be a member of the elite RGFCommercial Distributor Group, we're looking for a few goodDistributors, please give me a call!
