Energizer  
"I think what separates John Motley Associates from the rest of the reps in this business is the relationships that they have developed over the years with the major players in the office products business. To get to that level is not as easy as it sounds. In order to enjoy that level of relationship, you must first prove your worth to the industry - first to the vendors that you are representing and then to the accounts that you are selling to. The Motley team is very well represented throughout the northeast with top-notch sales personnel. They understand the customer. They understand the product lines that they are representing. Once given their goals and initiatives, they work relentlessly to help us achieve those goals, however lofty they might be. If there is ever a problem, you can always count on Mr. John Motley himself to help solve and work through the problem. We are very happy with the JMA team, and look forward to the future, and the help they will provide in order to help us achieve our goals."
- Paul Gutierrez, Regional Manager, Northeast, Energizer Professional Markets
