Harrer served the company for over 10 years, and he served the electrical industry at-large for 48 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating from Mason City High School (Iowa) in 1962, Bob Harrer enrolled in Junior College, but struggled to find direction in his life. \u201cI was floundering around,\u201d Harrer recalls of his first few years as a young man. In 1965, feeling directionless and eager to leave his hometown, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. At this time, U.S. combat forces were being deployed into the Vietnam conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing basic training, Bob was assigned to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, where he provided materials support to the air wing. By \u201cthe grace of God\u201d he was not deployed to Vietnam. \u201cOut of 45 people [from my basic training platoon],\u201d Harrer reflected, \u201conly 15 of them came back [alive].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The military taught him a lot, and it forced him grow up faster than his peers. But what he cherished most about his service was the importance of teamwork. \u201cCommunication with people around you is the most important thing,\u201d said Harrer. \u201cNo matter who you are around, you have to realize that these people all have the same goal as you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After his discharge from active duty in 1968, Bob enrolled at the University of Northern Iowa, graduating with a BA in Health in 1972. Shortly after graduation, he married his first wife and they moved to Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1974, Bob joined 3M as an Inside Salesperson, graduating to Outside Sales in just a few years. During this formative period in his life, he found that business-to-business selling excited him; and that he might want to make a career out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>1980 was the year Bob first entered the electrical wholesaling industry, taking an Outside Sales role with Appleton Electric Company (EGS). He loved the industry, the products, and the camaraderie. In 1988 he married his current wife, Susie, and they moved to Northern California in 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob continued to work for Appleton until 2003. During his 23-year tenure, Bob gained a deep understanding of electrical product application, as well as the industry dynamics at-large. He had the opportunity to learn from several veteran salespeople. But his most valuable mentor by far was a man named Frank Warren. According to Harrer, \u201cFrank taught me that \u2018showing up\u2019 matters more than anything else. Showing up means you care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2003, Bob Harrer joined Ewing-Foley Inc., a manufacturer\u2019s representative that carried Appleton among many other brands. While this experience broadened his knowledge of electrical products, a great deal of his time was spent \u201cjuggling different manufacturers.\u201d He was spending less time visiting distributors and building relationships \u2013 the parts of selling he loved most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2009, Bob Harrer decided to retire at age 64. He just wasn\u2019t cut-out to be a manufacturer\u2019s rep; and he grew tired of working for large corporations. Luckily, he had the means to retire comfortably, and spent the next three years traveling with family, and \u201cplaying lots of golf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Then in 2012, Bob received a call from Mike Carew \u2013 an old colleague from his Appleton days. Mike was now working for Orbit Industries. \u201cIt\u2019s a great little company,\u201d Mike told Bob. \u201cAnd they need someone to cover your old territory.\u201d Feeling a little stir-crazy in his early retirement, Bob jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob served as an Orbit Factory Salesperson for the next 10 years, growing the company\u2019s market share in California\u2019s Central Valley. He stuck to the basics of selling: building connections with distributors and contractors in the region, and always \u201cshowing up\u201d, even when he had bad news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Orbit turned out to be a perfect fit for the veteran salesman. \u201cI got so much support and encouragement from Inside Sales and [executive] leadership,\u201d Bob recalls. His style of selling blended perfectly with Orbit\u2019s business model &#8212; both revolved around taking care of the customer. \u201cYou\u2019re not just seen as a number here,\u201d Bob commented. \u201cYou are seen as a part of a team. And that team has the same goal as you.\u201d <a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>David Nikayin, Orbit\u2019s President and Founder, stated, \u201cWe are going to miss his personality, drive &amp; dedication. Bob started with us during a critical growth period. And he\u2019s responsible for introducing the Orbit brand name to a whole new market. We thank him for coming out of retirement for another 10 years of service. We wish him a long, healthy, and happy retirement!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Blessed with a successful career and good health at the age of 77, Bob plans on taking short trips and taking care of the house with his wife Susie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bob-Retires-web.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bob-Retires-web.jpg?resize=300%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" Bob Harrer Retires After 48 Years in the Electrical Industry \" class=\"wp-image-57844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bob-Retires-web.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bob-Retires-web.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SACRAMENTO, CA \u2013 Orbit Industries announces the retirement of Bob Harrer, Factory Sales Representative covering California\u2019s Central Valley region, effective June 30th, 2022.
