Phillip Crum, Chief Idea Officer, Sir Speedy Midway
Phillip likes, “the hunt”. Developing strategies, to grow a business and implementing them, is where his passion lies. After a two-year stint at UNT testing the waters in the Psychology and Radio/TV/Film departments he embarked on a journey through several industries, perfecting various sales techniques.
Eventually he accepted a position in the “old” printing industry, with Sir Speedy Printing of Addison/Carrollton area. The industry has morphed considerably since then with the advent of digital technologies, and then the internet, and this has allowed Phillip to combine all of his professional interests into one package. Helping the, “mid-market small business owner”, find his next new account and grow the current ones is what he spends most of his time thinking about.
“The industry is so enmeshed now in everything that interests me that I don’t see myself transitioning to….to what? The thing I love most about it is being able to bring some kind of knowledge, value, to the table that the average SMB owner doesn’t have time to learn. The answer’s, “Yes!”, how can I help you get what you want?”
Phillip enjoys spending time with his wife of 37+ years, their two sons, 6 very healthy and lively grandchildren, and his dachshund/weiner-dog.
