“Remember the reason why you got into business and stick to it persistently,” says Dave Columbus, director of national sales for Cornwell Quality Tools.
Columbus reminds his Cornwell dealers that “the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.”
Columbus knows a bit about selling tools; he has a total of 36 years of tool business experience. He was a tool dealer with Snap-on for three years and with Matco for five years before joining Cornwell. At Cornwell he was a district manager for 12 years, a regional manager for nine years and has been National Sales Director for the last seven years.
“It’s going to be hard work,” Columbus says. “Work comes before success in all businesses, but certainly this one.”
