We got the Hail Mary call at lunchtime:
Nonstop rain was flooding the Chicago area, and M. Cooper Winsupply was out of pumps.
Could we stop what we were doing, pull 200 from the Dayton distribution center, and get them loaded and trucked to Illinois yet this afternoon?
We staged 200 pumps by 2:30 and loaded them by 4. They arrived at dusk – and M. Cooper had them on the road to customers before breakfast the next morning.
We got it done. And M. Cooper won business it would have lost.
That’s one of many ways Sourcing Services helps local companies succeed and build even stronger relationships with customers.

You Have an Exit Strategy When You’re Ready to Sell or Retire
Most owners of family-owned supply houses have neither a succession plan nor an exit strategy.
When they’re ready to sell or retire, they need to find a buyer, and it’s tough knowing where to start.
When you become an owner at Winsupply and grow your local company, your equity investment grows. Your stock value – along with the bonuses and dividends you’ve earned and saved through the years – can produce a substantial nest egg for a long and happy retirement.
At Winsupply, you’ll put a succession plan in place and have an exit strategy:
You will identify and train your successor. A good succession plan increases the value of your local company stock.
Your local company stock is always liquid. Stock price is valued monthly based on your company’s financial stability.
Winsupply creates the market for your stock. So when you’re ready to sell or retire, Winsupply will buy back your stock based on advice from your local company board. You’ll never have to worry about finding a buyer.
