Bonnie Jones
Region 6 Sales Manager (TX, OK, AR, LA)
Bonnie has been in sales her entire career. After she graduated from Quinnipiac University, Bonnie became the first saleswoman in her field in Connecticut. When she would have an appointment with a business executive they assumed she was there to train the secretaries. She had to state “I am here to SELL you a product, not train others.” After the initial shock of seeing a woman selling on the road the customers began to embrace Bonnie’s sales and attitude which led to a very successful career in the communications industry. Bonnie specialized in starting up new territories for various cell phone companies A few years ago Bonnie made the change from communication sales to industrial sales at Thermaxx. Again, Bonnie excels at spreading the word about Thermaxx. Bonnie is married to Will Jones (VP) at Thermaxx and together they move to different areas of the country to introduce Thermaxx Jackets. Bonnie has a large family and 4 dogs.
