Sticking With It

The decades of in-plant experience would obviously make Hulett an expert in his field. But interestingly enough, he points to the one year he spent away from an in-plant environment as a great learning experience on how to run an in-house print shop.

"I probably would have struggled as an in-plant manager [without] having outside sales experience," Hulett explains. "You really have to have your salesmanship and team-building skills finely tuned because you can't go outside for business—you have a captive audience. You can't alienate them because they can go outside."
