How You Succeed
1. You Decide
The day has come: You’re saying yes to the Spirit of Opportunity at Winsupply.
You’re becoming an equity owner of your own wholesaling location, going into business with an equity partner whose sole purpose is helping you succeed.
Being the boss and decision maker excites you.
You are ready to build a company for yourself and for others.
2. You Invest
To become an owner at Winsupply, you need to have skin in the game.
Because ownership drives results, you need to buy shares in your own local company.
Here’s how ownership typically works:
30 percent: You, the local company president
10 percent: Your employees
9 percent: Individuals at Winsupply who want to sponsor your company
51 percent: Winsupply Inc.
Presidents starting new companies need about $100,000 on average to buy their shares. But if you don’t have enough to buy all your shares right away, that’s OK; Winsupply's longtime banking relationships will help you get what you need, at favorable interest rates.
Besides investing money, you’ll invest time, relying on Winsupply’s support teams as needed to:
Select a location and negotiate a lease
Get technology installed
Choose and stock inventory
Hire employees
Develop a business plan
3. You Work Hard
As the president, you put in sweat equity.
You’ll work hard running your local company – probably harder than you’ve ever worked in your entire life.
But this time, you’ll be working for yourself and calling all the shots.
You’ll get to do what you like and are best at – whether that’s making sales, directing operations or a bit of both.
4. You Make Money
As the president, you make money in three ways:
You get a nice salary that’s competitive in the industry and set by your local company board of directors.
You get unlimited bonus potential because we believe you need to be paid what you’re worth.
Part of every dollar you make before tax goes into a profit-sharing pool.
As president, you decide how you’ll distribute those profits between yourself and your hardworking team.
Last year, The Winsupply Family of Companies distributed almost $100 million in profit sharing.
You get dividend income quarterly once your equity investment achieves steady growth over time.
What's the Catch?
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
You have to do the work. For the first few years, you can expect to work 50, 60 or even 70 hours a week as you begin to earn your own success.
You have to be resourceful. At Winsupply, top-line growth doesn’t matter near as much as profitability. Successful presidents figure out how to do more with less.
You have to be willing to ask for help. Help is plentiful and always available. The biggest mistake you can make at Winsupply is failing to ask for help.
