Prototron Circuits appointed Marctech 2, the Northwest’s premier representative firm, to represent and sell for both of their facilities.
“With so much growth in the Northwest it has become evident that we need additional sales strength and experience to complement our current direct sales people. We have known and admired the Marctech 2 team for a long time, so they were our obvious first choice when we decided to sign and partner with a local rep firm. Adding these seasoned professionals to the Prototron sales team will help us to continue our coverage of the Northwest market. Marctech 2 will also be selling for our Tucson facility,” said Dave Ryder, president of Prototron Circuits of Redmond Washington and Tucson Arizona.
Seconding that sentiment, Mike Gunderson, president of Marctech 2, Inc. said, “Adding Prototron to our line card is going to offer additional solutions and resources to our customers. We are really excited to join Prototron and their team.”

It’s Only Common Sense: Storytelling That Sells—Stop Pitching, Start Painting Pictures
09/15/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet me tell you something that most salespeople — even the ones flashing Rolexes and bragging about crushing their quotas—still haven’t figured out: Facts don’t close deals, stories do. People file away facts while they feel stories. Facts tickle the brain, but stories punch the heart, and it’s the heart that signs the check every time.
It's Only Common Sense: Leveraging AI in Your Sales Strategy
09/01/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseLet’s get one thing straight: AI isn’t here to replace you; it’s here to make you smarter and faster. Every time a new tool shows up, half the sales floor panics: “They’re going to automate us out of a job!” This is shouted while doomscrolling LinkedIn. Relax. Sales is still, and will always be, about human connection, trust, and delivering value.

COVID, Tough Sales, and What Made Me a Better Salesperson
08/12/2025 | Daniel Beauvois, The Component StoreBefore 2020, we approached sales differently. A persistent, gritty salesperson could approach businesses daily without an appointment. They would often be turned away, but sometimes, they would be given a shot. Then, in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became official, and things started to shut down. When we finally came back, everything had changed, creating an impenetrable barrier for outside salespeople.
