“PMD Furniture Direct of Columbus, Ohio, jumped in at
#90 (of top 100 furniture retailers in the US) with a sales gain of
more than 43% to $69.4 million retail. The unusual company owned by
Power Marketing Direct, is a chain of more than 100 small warehouses in
35 states selling promotional to mid-priced goods by appointment only.
It’s fast growing with 110 warehouses in place at year’s end and plans
for 20 more this year.
Only 14 of the 40 Top 100 companies that posted
double-digit gains were specialists, but they include Design Within
Reach and PMD at the top of the list, as well as No. 15 Crate &
Barrel, No. 50 Room & Board, No. 14 Select Comfort, and No. 23
Restoration Hardware – all with gains of 19% or better.”

"I was the vice president of sales and vice
president/general manager for IKON Office Solutions in Indiana. I spent
23 years with them, my only job after college. After deciding on a
career change a year ago, the only regret I have about joining PMD is
that I wish I would have known about it five years ago! I would have
made the switch much sooner. I have had in a few short months, a
tremendous experience. I'm having the time of my life.
The support received from PMD has been outstanding. I
receive help when needed and entrepreneurial freedom at all times. I
love to sell, spend time with customers, make my own decisions that I'm
accountable for, and make a good (and as my business grows great)
income for my family and future. PMD gives me all of those things.
Where else can you start your own business from scratch and make money
your first week (and every week thereafter!)? The potential for me and
other PMD owners is limitless. How exciting! I did my due diligence
thoroughly as I sought a new career.
Everything I was told and promised in the process of
joining PMD was true and has been consistently delivered. I know I made
the right decision for my family’s future and myself when I joined this
organization.
