You do not have to exclusively sell Sherwin-Williams products to join the program. However, if you do become a single-line supplier of Sherwin-Williams products you will receive additional discounts on your every day purchases.
Authorized distributors of the Blue Chip Distribution Program™ will have full access to all products and an aggressive discount / rebate model that puts those that join the program in a great position to be successful. In additional to financial incentives, the following are available to Blue Chip jobbers today:
- Support from your local Sherwin-Williams store, sales and technical representatives. Your store(s) and employees now have an extended team that all want to help you win!
- A secure website to stay up to date on Sherwin-Williams announcements, organize your program, and track your pursuit towards financial goals.
- Product, application, and business skills training at our training facilities across the country.
- Spring, Summer, and Winter paint promotions.
- Access to performance groups where we can share information with other jobbers across the country to improve our business.
