Meet Pete: USCutter Sales Manager Peter Robinson

Get to know your USCutter.com staff! These people are here every day, 9-5 (actual hours may slightly vary), to make sure you are getting the service and support that you deserve.

We took a moment to ask our sales manager, Peter Robinson, a few questions. Peter brings a very interesting perspective to USCutter, in that he used to be one of our customers himself!

Peter and the USCutter sales staff are here to serve you!

USCutter: Peter, you were a USCutter customer way before you were ever an employee. Tell us about that customer experience.

Peter: I was a customer of USCutter for many years before coming to work here. I owned and operated my own local sign shop, and it was great having a sales team that I could reach by email very quickly. Having a storefront, I didn’t have time to be on the phone or waiting on hold so it was great to have the ability to communicate with my source for media electronically, and affordable ground shipping that would arrive within just a few days even if shipped from the Memphis warehouse.

USCutter: What made you decide to work at USCutter? How has your industry background been an asset to our business?

Peter: USCutter was looking for salespeople, and with the great experience I’d had in my dealings with them over the years, the decision to jump at the opportunity to work for such a great company was easy. My many years in the digital print segment of the industry was and has been a huge help to the company. I’m able to contribute to business decisions and product direction that keep the USCutter catalog at the leading edge of the industry, as well as aiding in training and knowledge for the rest of the sales and customer service teams. My hope is that my experience translates into a better customer experience, having been one myself.

USCutter: What direction do you see us going in as a company? What can we do to improve value and service for our customers?

Peter: USCutter is still a young company, and still finding its way. This is very exciting to me because USCutter has always found that “next best thing” and I want to be part of a team that can bring those products to market, and watch our customers succeed because of what we can offer them. I was attending an ISS show in Long Beach a couple of years ago and sat in on a seminar I can’t even remember the name of. The speaker was talking about value of your brand to the customer, and its relationship to price. One of the most profound things I think that we lose sight of sometimes is always trying to compete on price. We don’t have to be the lowest price on the web for the supplies we offer. We need to be the best value to our customers. Superior service and support will naturally weed out the customers that wouldn’t be with us long term and are only price driven.

USCutter: Mucho thanko for your time, Peter.

Peter: It’s been my very great pleasure.

Don’t take our word for it. Read this fascinating testimonial from a junior high school that started using USCutter equipment in the classroom for educational edification and to teach practical skills!

The Nucor Detailing Center is a central STEM Makerspace that serves 5 local junior high schools in the Norfolk, Nebraska area.

“I have attached a picture that was taken by the state grant facilitator on their visit to one of our sessions with the 7th and 8th graders.  The picture shows one of the classes of students holding the two projects that they designed and created as part of our 3 hour interaction with them.  The ability of the vinyl cutters to immediately generate a finished project with a class of 25 -30 students in a matter of 20 minutes is why we utilize it over other equipment in the creation station for our outreach program.  By the way the background logo was made with your equipment and installed by Dave and myself.”

Look at those smiling faces! All thanks to USCutter.com!

3.) Receive personalized, individualized coaching and instruction from USCutter staff to serve your needs!

“Creating a STEM makerspace for 5 junior high schools is an overwhelming undertaking and choosing the right equipment can be scary.  We have been extremely pleased with our decision to include USCutter SC2 vinyl cutters in our makerspaces.  In fact, we have increased from 5 cutters to 12 in just one year. While creating vinyl projects students are learning math and software skills that expose them to the possibility of choosing a career in manufacturing or IT. The staff at USCutter has been exceptionally supportive at every turn. From our first call seeking advice on which machines would fit our needs, through the sales process and on to service calls we have learned that USCutter is a valuable partner in our STEM program.
