Great manufacturer's reps run on relationships, built quietly over years of knowing what the other side actually needs. That is where Scott Peeler, one of Eaton's newest additions to the sales team, steps in. Scott took a long road to the role, spending 26 years in equipment and supplies distribution as a senior manager before crossing over to the rep side. That mix of distributor insight and sales experience now helps strengthen the relationships that support Eaton's next phase of growth.
We sat down with Scott to learn a little more about his background and what attracted him to Eaton Marketing. Learn a little more about what he looks for in a work environment and the best piece of advice anyone has given him.
Hi Scott! Can you tell us a little about yourself, your background, and what brought you to Eaton Marketing?
I'm originally from Cashiers, North Carolina. I've spent 28 years on and off in South Florida by way of Atlanta for about 12 years working in E&S distribution as a senior manager. I've known the Eaton reputation for all of my career and always thought it would be a great fit for both of us.
What unique skills do you bring to the team?
Being in distribution for 26 years, I know what distributors are looking for in a manufacturer's rep. I'm most excited to be back in sales after taking a year off to go globetrotting and returning to my home in Fort Lauderdale.
Globetrotting sounds fun! What else do you do in your freetime?
Gym, cycling, camping, North Carolina mountains, and traveling.
Which Eaton core values resonate the most with you?
Do the right thing, be honest and follow through.
What's something people should know about you?
Fun Fact: I love German Shepards!
As you know, foodservice is always driven by experience. What's the best piece of advice someone gave you?
Always do the right thing and it will repay you 100% over time.
How do you think your customers perceive you?
One thing people say about me: He always follows through and does what he says he said he would do.
Thanks, Scott! It's been great getting to know you a little better.
