This feature is a question-and-answer session with a new Blount County Chamber member. So here we go with our 88th installment visiting with Tim Satterfield, Territory Sales Representative for All Pro Supply which is your single-source for professional janitorial, sanitation, industrial and commercial cleaning and facility maintenance supplies.
What is All Pro Supply? Your All Pro Representative is more than “the person you call at your All Pro Supply.” In most cases, they are an owner/partner or an expert consultant who knows this business backwards and forwards. They won’t just sell you a product. They’ll consult with you, recommending the right product in exactly the right quantity, maybe even come out, roll up their sleeves and show you just how it’s done. It’s pretty clear, they love what they do. The business model at All Pro Supply is simple: assemble all the best products and most knowledgeable people in the jan san industry in one place. Then when the customer needs virtually anything in the realm of professional janitorial and sanitation supplies, a single phone call would put you in touch with experienced, commercial sanitation professionals with over 5,000 top quality jan san products in their arsenal. One call. One order. Everything you need.
Describe what All Pro Supply does. All Pro Supply is your single-source for professional janitorial, sanitation, industrial and commercial cleaning and facility maintenance supplies.

How did you get started? With over 20 years of experience in commercial sales, I know the commercial client and their needs well. Being able to help customers save money is important to me. The product that All Pro Supply offers and the savings that I can pass on to my customers afforded me a great opportunity with a company that is beginning to grow in the area.
What is your background? As a partner of Fuller Industries, our managing partners and sales associates have direct access to the manufacturer of many of our products. The decades of experience and expertise are passed on to all associates through webinars and hands on training. Any questions about our product can be answered by direct access to the manufacturer.
Who is your mentor? My mentor and spiritual adviser is a local pastor who has been through many life milestones with me. He is always available to discuss personal and professional situations and helps me to work through all available options. He has always been someone that I have admired and trusted.
Describe your customers. Any business could potentially be a customer of All Pro Supply.
