Andy Schaidler and I worked together in NEWH and I experienced a great deal of loyalty in Andy's work. Andy is dedicated in any task that he takes on, he is passionate about the details and seeing the project through to fruition. Andy works well with his peers and is creative in his ideas in ensuring success for all partners. I would recommend Andy in any position he may pursue.

Being in the hospitality field for over 30 years, Andy Schaidler was the BEST sales manager I ever worked with. I would work with Andy for whatever company Andy became the sales manager. I never had to worry about Andy not following thru with any promises he made and his response to answers was phenomenal. Always on top of the market and willing to go the extra distance to get the job done. Do you want to hire the BEST, hire Andy and increase your sales.

Andy Schaidler and I have volunteered together on the board of directors for NEWH, Inc for many years. I have had the pleasure of working with Andy in two different positions, primarily in the planning of events including our Regional Tradeshows and Leadership Conference. In a volunteer organization it is difficult to find people with not only a passion to serve but a dedication to getting the job done and doing it in the most effective and efficient way. Andy is one of those people.

In addition to clearly being a valued employee in the hospitality industry, Andy is a valued member of our NEWH team. Andy brings a wealth of knowledge, decisive opinions and informed input to the hospitality industry on every level of involvement.

My experience with Andy Schaidler is from his serving on the NEWH International Board of Directors. As both Director of Tradeshows and Director of NEWH Conferences ... you can always count on Andy and know the job will be done and done well. In the world of volunteers, this is not always the case. I would highly recommend Andy for any endeavor that he would choose to be involved with!

Andy Schaidler is a highly organized and creative marketing and sales manager who developed successful merchandising strategies for the American Fluorescent Lighting Showroom in Dallas when I collaborated with him.

I'm writing a personal referral for Andy Schaidler as I had the privilege of working with him while he was at Volume Lighting.

Andy was my sales manager, but so much more than that. He's organized and provides the level of attention and customer service that you don't always find in this business. He was so efficient with information and followup on quotes, stock requests, orders, and damage control.

Andy will be a blessing to any company as he knows the true meaning of Customer Service and how the Hospitality Industry needs to be handled. I hope to be fortunate enough to work alongside him again. He's not only a professional colleague but a friend.

Please feel free to contact me directly for additional comments.

We've begun to make meaningful connections for the company; you have been very supportive and always available for quotes and answers.

In our 25 year expereience in the rep. business we have worked with many sales managers. Many, I discovered not worthy of praise. I found you to be highly professional, organized, and genuinely interested in helping the customer and us to be successful. You have a unique vision of understanding the customers needs, and organizing yourself, and more importantly equiping your reps with the tools necessary to be successful.

Change can be good. It is what you make of your new opportunity. Go Get Em!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Andy Schaidler for nine years. During the years of our acquaintance, I have known Andy in many capacities as a competitor, friend, and employee.

His responsibilities have included the development and organization of the new division, including hiring, training, and supervising the hospitality sales agents, bringing in new customers and sales, extensive overnight travel, as well as implementing the budget, planning and set up of multiple trade shows with follow up of leads generated from advertising and trade sources.

He has established an outstanding rapport with reps, prospects, customers, and designers in the industry. His ability to get work done through outside and inside personnel has been outstanding. Andy is highly respected by the people who work in the hospitality industry. He is organized, thorough in his paperwork, and is always on time with reports.

Andy has done an excellent job and I would highly recommend him.
