Our Mission Statement
The Jones Company is a professional
outsourced sales and marketing firm specializing in the HVACR industry. We are
CPMR certified and have over 25 years
of experience. We live daily by our motto, "We Market Products With You."
Our goal is to fulfill the expressed and
unexpressed needs of the excellent principals, distributors, and associations in our
industry. While doing so, we maintain the highest integrity and deliver
exceptional sales results through marketing support, inventory, warehousing, training
and teamwork with our partners.
The Jones Company was founded in 1980 by Robert E. Jones. Prior to becoming
a manufacturer's representative, Bob worked as GM/VP for the company that invented
flexible ducting and also manufactured mining and tunneling ventilation. Those 18
years of manufacturing experience were to prove valuable in the years to come.
Feeling the need to begin his own company, Bob moved from the L.A. area to Sacramento
and began the Robert E. Jones Company in 1980. Working out of his house, he had a
small car and lines to match. It didn't take long, however, for the hard work and
customer appreciation to pay off.
Today, we specialize in HVAC items for distribution in the CA/NV/AZ/HI
markets. We also operate our own three warehouses, which are located in
Wheatland, CA. (near Sacramento) amounting to over 30,000 sq. ft. of storage. We
function both on a consignment basis and a buy-sell basis. The Jones Co. warehouses allow
us to serve our customers better and provide better coverage for our principals. We
can usually provide same-day shipping and stock the products our customers want within a
day’s delivery. We also maintain our own truck and trailer for local
deliveries.
We pride ourselves on efficiency and have automated a great many sales tasks. We
are E.D.I. capable, and well positioned for the increasing usage of e-commerce and vendor
managed inventories.
We are also very proud to have taken part in the three-year program of representative
accreditation offered under the Manufacturer's Agent's National Association. Bob
Jones and Greg Jones are both CPMR accredited. This program helps
representatives conduct their organizations in a more professional fashion and better
serve their customers and principles.
We have a large show trailer that we use for distributor events and training. We
maintain Jones catalogs at all the major customers, and are active in most of the
associations in our industry. We’ve belonged to a number of rep councils for
our principals as well as rep industry groups.
Unlike many representatives, we keep the number of lines we represent at a manageable
level enabling the service and attention to detail that both our customers and principals
find rewarding. Our average tenure with a principal is now over 9 years and
growing. With most of our lines, we are among the top couple reps in the country for
sales and have enjoyed substantial growth over the last several years.
Bob Jones has overall responsibility for the company and services a number of
accounts. He is a marketing graduate of U.C.L.A and was born and raised in Southern
California. Bob has worked in the HVACR industry since he was a teenager and
continues to have fun doing so.
Greg Jones, Bob's son, has been with the company since 1984 and continues the tradition
of service into the next generation. He is a graduate of U.C. Davis. Also
born and raised in California, he has worked in the HVACR industry for over 20 years as a
manufacturer's representative.
John Edwards has come aboard in 2008. John literally wrote the book and zoning
and brings a strong technical expertise to The Jones Company. He has had both
national and regional account responsibility over the years. For us, he is in charge
of specific accounts as well as overall zoning sales.
Mark Seko also joined in 2008. For the last several years, Mark worked as the
equipment specialist for a leading regional wholesaler. He has a great deal of
experience structuring deals and putting together winning proposals.
Tom Patton has responsibility for Northern California. He started part-time in
the warehouse a decade ago, and now does a fantastic job servicing accounts in N.CA. and
N.NV.
Buck Goff takes care of service rep issues and all warehouse matters. Among other
accomplishments, he has gone years without missing a day of work.
Glenn Selby has responsibility for Arizona and Southern Nevada. From running his
own multi-million dollar contracting firm to regional sales management and builder liaison
work, he brings a wealth of experience to our team.
