Building on value
Key to its success and overall strength are the brands with which Power Systems has aligned. The companys appeal to leading, well-known suppliers is its ability to bring value to the table, explains Bruno, who is CEO. All of the qualities that define Power Systems our mission, values, brand attributes, etc.become associated with the products that we distribute; when we do our job well, it reflects well on them. We create positive experiences between consumers and our suppliers brands. How positive that experience has been is attested to by research showing that Power Systems enjoys a 96% customer satisfaction rating. Getting to that figure has required some meticulous partner vetting. Our approach to entering into agreements with other brands is different from that of other distributors we know, says Bruno. We look for companies that are category leaders, have great quality and service records, and whose customer-centered values parallel our own. We treat our suppliers and customers the same way. We decide whats best for both companies and then work toward our common goals. We expect high-quality products and responsive service. Our suppliers expect us to sell their products and pay on their terms.
ts a classic story of young entrepreneurs setting out with little more than dreams and achieving much more than they could ever have imagined. No, in this particular case, the tale doesnt begin in a garage, or in the basement of a parents home, but, rather, in a room no larger than a walk-in closet. The year was 1986, the entrepreneurs were a husband-and-wife team, Bruno and Julie Pauletto, and the business was Power Systems, which, at the time, produced several sports-training videos and marketed them to coaches in high school, college, and other athletic venues. The company was a natural outgrowth of Brunos interests, background, and accomplishments. A world-class athlete, hed participated in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles in the shot put, and had subsequently become a nationally

Relying on reality
In reaching out to customers, Power Systems has, again, adopted a unique position. Recently, the company has focused its efforts on what it sees as real people. Its new marketing and messaging emphasis reflects Julies
convictions and vision, driven by her concern that todays culture places undue importance on attractiveness. Weve allowed our concept of beauty to become synonymous withif not to entirely replaceour sense of fitness. The sports and fitness industries have contributed to this by utilizing images that arent real, but represent a subset of the industrys audiencethe extremes of fitness, body shape, and athleticism. Weve used those images as much as anyone, she acknowledges. But we decided that it was time to change the photos we choose and the stories we tell. We want to serve a nation thats focused on true, not idealized, fitness. In that spirit, Power Systems is using images of real people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities in its advertising, catalogs, Website, and other media. Looking to the future, the challenge will be to find like-minded people and companies to help drive our growth, Bruno says. Any new opportunity we consider must serve Power Systems, our partners, and our customers well. |

But its not easy keeping up with her off the track, either, especially in the weeks leading up to the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Her natural athleticism and relentless drive have earned her more than a dozen gold medals in international competitions in the 100m, 200m, and 400m races. She is the current and three-time world champion in the 200m, and five time U.S. champion in the same event. She still holds the national high-school record in the 200m.
