What are the biggest obstacles to your company’s continued growth?
Chris Shult, chief executive officer: “The workforce shortage and supply chain issues are the two biggest obstacles to our growth. We continue to miss revenue goals because our suppliers cannot get us the components that we need to ship product.”
Where do you see the most opportunities for your company to continue growing?
“Bevco is continuing to see opportunities in many markets that we serve. As the workforce shortage continues, we are seeing more opportunities from companies looking to outsource so that they can focus on their core competency, which typically does not include building control panels.”
What’s the best business advice you’ve received?
“Don’t be afraid to ask questions to understand your customers’ needs. A second one is from a sign that I have in my office: ‘Without sales, it all comes to a halt.’”
