Jim Pemberton..

Jim thank you so much for coming out to MFE.
Your presence here was just awesome. Your protector presentation and live demos were some of the highlights of the program, not only for me but many others.
I really enjoyed chumming around as well and it was a real treat to have you at my shindig..

You added a lot of class to this gawd aweful city..

Jim is the tops in my book. Pure class excellent trainer and so knowledgeable. Anytime I think I know a thing or too I read one of posts and realize I'm but a hack.

I like to think I bring balance to the MB universe. Jim is the classy intellectual and I'm welllll...me.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Dont know him personally but he is a real gem online.
Not just technical information but general business/life topics too. Very thoughtful in his responses and always professional.

Kinda like a priest among us cowboys. Well you guys not me

Jim is a class act in a sea of classlessness.

Not only knowledge is so many ways... But passion and compassion

I don't know how i missed this post.

Jim is my local distributor and i gotta say that without him, his staff, his and Lee's support, and their skill and knowledge i would not be in the position i am now. Adding a second van to the fleet, and still kicking ass with my rage. Granted I skipped a few machines on the way. Rage to the Pro1200se, this gives you guys and girls an idea of how he has crucial to my business. going from entry level to top tier equipment. Couldn't do it without him.

Can't agree with you more Scott. I always look forward to seeing all of their staff each time I step through their doors. Lee saddled up the horse a long time ago and Jim has taught everyone how to ride it! Their Values and Company Culture are alive and well in McKeesport PA!

The Burdicks need to make a road trip to western PA this winter for a personal visit. Wish he were closer.

 

[Mikey P]

I may send my guys out for a one on one with The Jim.

 

[bob vawter]

a most gentle and confidant man...
made in the Ken mold!

 

[Scott S.]

first time i met him i drove to pittsburg just to meet him, didnt even know who he was, just wanted to meet the people i would be buying chems from (this is when i had a small portable), met THE JIM (mikey referance) , and he asked me what i needed, and i said idk, i just came down to meet you in person. He was kinda taken back that i drove 2+ hours just to meet him. he sent me home with a couple things to help me clean better and gave me his email address, and its been warp speed ahead ever since.

 

[Larry Cobb]

I enjoyed the Upholstery cleaning that Jim and Ron Toney were doing at Experience.

Jim had his "test velvet" and tested many tools on it . . .

while Ron was the mad chemist on other fabrics.

 

[hogjowl]

I was taken aback that he came to the phone when I called him once, years ago.

I mean, seriously, most big time industry magnets like Jim have no time for one horse pig farmers like me.

I can't even get Cobb to wave.

The man is all class. I buy from him just because I appreciate the enewsletter Lee & Jim send to me.
The Pemberton's are great!

 

[Scott S.]

Yeah, well i know "The Jim" is too modist to post this, but if anyone wants the weekly email of his "Clean tip" Just go to http://www.pembertons.com and it will pop up on your screen to sign up for it. its not spam, its actually good tips, info, and news on cleaning industry stuff.

 

[Desk Jockey]

So much good technical info from Jim and marketing & management info from Lee.

So valuable, yet free. Thanks to Jim & Lee!

You guys rock!!!

 

[hogjowl]

But turn down your volume on your phone notifications, cuz he always sends it after midnight on Saturday morning!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Its ok I'm still up. Man its the beginning of the weekend, I love Friday nights.

What are you doing sleeping?

 

[FB7777]

Because Jim is such a genuine and somewhat private person, I tend not to just throw praise at him on here

He's my supplier and all around go to guy with questions in this industry

He's the first call... And hasn't let me down yet

 

[Desk Jockey]

I tend not to just throw praise at him on here

I'm not that considerate. Since its the truth, I'd much rather heap it on him just to make him uncomfortable.
The man is so smooth ya gotta try to shake him up if I can.

Gawwwd I'm soo unprofessional. Sorry Jim!

 

[Scott S.]

he deserves it. he never takes from people, he is always giving.
he always gives info, insight, and knowledge, but never takes, as in he doesn't push products, all he does here is run that small add and support the board.
he doesn't push for sales like others here. That's why i call him out when he does some awesome stuff behind the scenes.
