What We Do

We connect people. Soapbox is a cloud-based collaboration tool that represents a new way for promotional product professionals to connect on a personal level. Unlike webinars or virtual trade shows, Soapbox is designed for private, one-on-one, deep-dive, ideation sessions focused specifically on a salesperson’s customers. This unique conversational format not only enhances our user’s industry networks, but also uncovers new revenue-generating opportunities.

Why We Do It

The promotional products industry is people-driven. We believe in the power of human connections and their ability to transform businesses. Recognizing this core belief, we identified the need for a sales communication model designed specifically for an evolved business landscape marked by changes in travel, trade shows, and remote work. Our goal is to provide a turn-key solution that meets the challenges of the current marketplace.

How We Do It

Soapbox is a proprietary virtual communication platform tailored specifically for the promotional products industry. In our password-protected environment, we organize and facilitate private online meetings between suppliers and our curated roster of top-producing distributor salespeople. The clean interface of our platform is user-friendly, efficient, and designed to foster meaningful connections that result in increased sales, enhanced brand visibility, and mutual success.

What We Value

We value details, and so we are committed to providing exceptional service to our clients. We value efficiency, and one of our most important goals is to make sure each interaction on our platform is set up to be productive. We value building a community of like-minded professionals built on trust, fostering transparent and open communication, and delivering results. We value the relationships we forge, understanding that strong partnerships are the foundation of success in the promotional products industry. We value our participants’ opinions, and so we consistently elicit feedback, which is utilized to improve the Soapbox experience for everyone. We value innovation, and so we are dedicated to staying at the forefront of industry trends and technology, constantly looking for new ways to meet the changing needs of our clients and help foster their continued growth.
