But Don't take it from me take it from my students

"In today’s society, there are few scholars whose wisdom transcends age, gender, ethnicity, occupation and status. Sir Jonathan is one such scholar. He has guided me through many challenges over the years and has done the same for many others around the world. He is one of only a handful of people whom I trust and can turn to for guidance, and I am truly grateful to know him as a friend and teacher."

"I’m so happy to have met Jonathan at that time when I was €5000 in debt about 2 years and 4 months ago.He helped me clear my mind to focus on what I want, blocking out my doubts and helping my to control my fears.I went on to use these techniques to achieve my first success. Got personally mentored by him right before I hit 6 figures. And continued to follow his guidance and teachings when I broke through to multiple 6 figures because it enabled me to hit a 7 figure income this year and use that knowledge to help hundreds of people to achieve the same level of success. Most importantly Jonathan helped me balance out between the good & bad to get exactly where I wanted to go. Thank you Jonathan for everything that you do for the countless people on this planet."

[A Specialized Packaging Guide]

Today’s Packaging Manufacturer is at a critical crossroad,

especially if they make anything custom, unique or value add.

For the past 25 years packaging manufacturers have relied on resellers to sell their products, but over time those “go getters”

who wanted and needed to make higher margins have retired, been replaced, or just aren’t around anymore.

The reality is, very few know anything about selling problem solving, higher margin packaging.

Worse yet, their own internal packaging reps who were tasked with building these partnerships with companies like Veritiv, Crown, Piedmont, or Supply One are nearing retirement age and don’t have the drive and doggedness to find new opportunities.

Resellers like Veritiv, etc, would rather sell commodity packaging for 5% profit margin than venture into custom, problem solving packaging. Why?

Most sales managers are lazy and untrained themselves and just aren’t willing to put in the effort. Why bother when they are making $250,000 a year moving bubble wrap and tape?

A closer look leaves today’s packaging manufacturer in a very difficult spot. How do they boost sales and profits? Do they go out and hire new (think expensive) salespeople all over again, as in 25 years ago? That could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and take 3-5 years minimum to see any traction.

Besides hiring new reps, one of the next steps would be investing in a new website with new content and even hiring a marketing agency to “get the word out.” Again, another flawed and expensive strategy.
