Larry and Chris rant about stupid people.  Enjoy!

Today I'm sitting down with a man I'm proud to call “boss”. His name is Mark Freed and he is the President and CEO of Genumark - the largest Canadian-owned distributor of promotional products and corporate apparel in the country. Recently, Genumark was named Top Large Distributor and National Distributor of the Year by the PPPC which is our industries most prominent association and considered to be the "Voice of the Best Branding Solution in Canada".  Before Mark began his career in branding more than 25 years ago, he practiced law for ten years after graduating Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Canada. Since he's been at the helm, Genumark has grown to become one of the best and most well-respected companies in the industry. I invited Mark to be a guest on my show to learn about his journey from lawyer to swag boss and hear how things have changed over the last 25 years. I wanted to know why he's so passionate about instilling a customer-centric culture. And I wanted to get his POV on what we do differently at Genumark to help our clients during these challenging times.

Topics: -Sam has some follow up regarding his “Ubiquiti Hell” from a few weeks ago.  In the end, it turned out to be a bad UniFi USG device. -Joe has some wise sayings to share that ring true in our industry and the value we bring as consultants: "Let the Baker Bake the Bread, even if he takes half the Dough" - Persian Saying  “Give your Dough to the Baker, even if he will eat half the bread.”  -Sam says we are like bomb technicians.  “You are paying us to know which wire to cut.” -Jerry has some follow up about two factor authentication being baked in to one of our favorite apps, 1Password.  This was brought to our attention by long time listener, Michael Reinhart. -Jerry is curious about the various methods of how 1Password can sync you data and what Joe & Sam use -1Password’s secure options for recovering your security related data can sometimes be off-putting for some users and drive them away from password management tools -1Password has an affiliate program that is fairly easy to sign up for.  It is run by commission junction. -Moving back to Addigy territory, Joe expresses his frustrations with the interface at times -Joe shares a tip about creating a custom table view. There is a view option in the column toggle icon in the top right of the Devices list.  Then you can adjust it and Save the changes using the table view menu in the top left of the Devices list. -Joe encourages the group to scratch beneath the surface of Addigy and find resources available in the community -For Sam, he’s been utilizing Addigy to enable MDM features like white listing Kernel Extensions (KEXT) and deploying PPPC profiles.  In the case of PPPC, there is a great Git Hub project that makes the process easier for those who are not familiar with these profiles: https://github.com/jamf/PPPC-Utility -Joe covers the topic of User Approved MDM and Sam tags along with a discussion of Apple Business Manager and enrolling into MDM at Setup Assistant. -Another Git Hub project, UMAD, provides a nice GUI interface to encourage your users to onboard and enroll into UAMDM https://github.com/erikng/umad

In 2001, when I was relatively new to the industry, I attended an education session at the PPPC show with today’s guest, Cliff Quicksell. It was a transformative moment for me as I was challenged by Cliff to see the bigger creative picture as it pertained to promotional products sales. I will always remember that class and the several others I attended in subsequent years as key to my development as a professional in this industry. While Cliff is certainly a household name in the industry, his bio is well worth recounting. Cliff Quicksell, Jr., has been involved in the promotional products and sportswear industries for the past 33 years. During this tenure, he has been a mainstay on the education circuit at PPAI, ASI and several regional associations. Those who who have attended his sessions describe a man of boundless energy and enthusiasm for creative promotional products sales. For more than 27 years, Cliff has been speaking, training and consulting internationally to associations and national business groups on more effective ways to market themselves and their products and services. Cliff has consulted for several blue chip industry companies such as: iPROMOTEu©, Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Brown & Bigelow©, AIA, Geiger© and Snugz© USA. Cliff has been the recipient of numerous industry awards. Recognized by PPAI for creativity, he has won the prestigious PPAI Golden Pyramid award 23 times. He has received PPAI’s Ambassador Speaker of the Year Award 6 consecutive years. He has also been recognized by Counselor Magazine as one of the Top 50 Most Influential People in the Promotional Products Industry. Cliff is also a prolific writer, having been published in every recognizable trade publication in our industry, and we are honored that he now adds PromoKitchen to that list.

While distributors and suppliers represent the largest segment of the promotional products industry, it’s the consultants who often work behind the scenes to make sure the industry continues to thrive. In today’s episode, we wanted to explore the industry from the vantage of one of the most experienced consultants around, David Blaise David is an entrepreneur, author and business consultant with more than 25 years experience in direct marketing and advertising.
