Over the past 20 years as a HAR Adhesive Sales Representative, I have been asked many times:
“What do you do for a living?”
“How’s business?”
Countless times, the response is some clever variation of:
“Well, it’s a sticky business.”
Yes, the bad joke often gets a little chuckle, but over the years I have come to realize this obvious pun has a deep meaning to me both literally and figuratively. Literally, I sell glue. We bond various substrates together. My job is to supply adhesive to manufacturing and packaging industries and work with them to stick their worlds together. However, looking at this punchline figuratively, its meaning can be quite deep.
At HAR, we stick with it to the very end
I am proud to say that at HAR, we stick by every customer when they have a processing issue. Our customers are like partners, and once a partner, they become family. Even when the issue may not be adhesive-related, we stick with them to the end.
- We stick with them and help them find solutions and support beyond their imagination.
- We stick with them to make sure they are always using the most cost-effective and efficient adhesive, adhesive equipment, and processes possible.
- We stick with them during the good times and bad, financial issues, and yes, even through pandemics.
And what is even more humbling... our customers stick with us!
We believe in mutual respect and mutual benefits
We believe in sticking around and supporting our customers, vendors, partners, employees, and community. We reference sticking together throughout our social media and literature. One I particularly like is on the back of our business card:
“HAR is uniquely connected through our employees, our customers, our suppliers and our neighbors; we believe in “win-win” relationships of mutual respect and mutual benefits.”
I have been “sticking” with this “sticky business” for over 20 years now. I continue to appreciate and feel humbled by the many partnerships we have created, and I am grateful for all of my customers that choose to stick with me as well.
I am very proud of this sticky business!
