I had the pleasure of working with Andy while he was the Hospitality Sales Manager at Volume Lighting. He was always passionate about his product, and had an extremely admirable work ethic. His quick responses to requests for information were greatly appreciated, and resulted in increased sales opportunities. Any company would be lucky to have him on their team!

I have known Andy Schaidler for twenty years. Our relationship has not only been at a professional level but also a personal level, and I consider Andy to be a good friend.

I first met Andy when he was head of customer service at Bill Brown Sales in Chicago, our main sales rep agency for many products to our company. As a customer, I was impressed by Andy’s many skills in working and helping our company.

Later, I was fortunate to have Andy come to work for our company as manager of our hospitality division. Andy grew this division by handling sales, quotations, and product development and design.

I find Andy to be very professional in every way. He is responsible, hard working, creative, and has a special gift for relating to people. He would always find ways of getting the job done and taking care of the customer.

Andy would be an asset to any company especially in the hospitality or lighting industries. I would highly recommend Andy for a position in a number of areas within these industries.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

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!

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.

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!
