Membership terms are being reviewed and are not open. Nothing here collects payment or asks you to sign an agreement, and an application is not an offer. Earnings are not guaranteed.<\/div>\n<h2>1. What the Purple Team is<\/h2>\n<p>COi Rubber Products makes custom molded rubber and plastic parts, such as gaskets, grommets, boots and diaphragms, for manufacturers. The Purple Team is a pilot program, starting in Pomona, California, for independent sales representatives who introduce COi to buyers at those manufacturers. You work for yourself. There is no salary, no company equity and no guaranteed income. It is non-exclusive, so you keep your current product lines.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Who it is for<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Experienced representatives<\/strong> who already call on buyers and want to add a second source for them. <strong>Motivierte Neueinsteiger<\/strong> who are new to industrial sales and willing to learn, prospect and follow up.<\/p>\n<h2>3. What the work looks like<\/h2>\n<p>This is the working flow we plan to teach. The exact handoff between you and COi&#8217;s team is still being confirmed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"step\"><b class=\"n\">1<\/b><div><strong>Find a buyer with a part<\/strong><p>A real company and a buyer who needs a molded rubber or plastic part that fits what COi makes.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"step\"><b class=\"n\">2<\/b><div><strong>Collect what an RFQ needs<\/strong><p>A visible drawing, the estimated annual usage, the material, and the hardness (durometer) if it is rubber, plus the buyer&#8217;s contact details.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"step\"><b class=\"n\">3<\/b><div><strong>Send it to COi<\/strong><p>You send the request.

What is expected of you<\/h2>\n<p>Learning, prospecting, follow-up, accurate records and professional conduct. Territory and customer ownership are not part of this program unless your written agreement says so.<\/p>\n<h2>6. How pay works, in general terms<\/h2>\n<p>Pay is a competitive commission on customer sales COi collects. Earnings are not guaranteed, and the written terms come after review and before anything applies to you.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Next steps<\/h2>\n<p>If this fits you, send the free application. Napoleon&#8217;s sales team reviews it and Daniel follows up. You can also ask to be told when an information session is scheduled.
