What Makes Tom James The World's Best Custom Clothier
Over the years, our sales success has allowed us to invest in our business to create several distinct advantages for our people:
- Vertical Integration: Tom James has been able to acquire 14 manufacturing partners and effectively control the entire product lifecycle from weaving our own fabrics to manufacturing the garments to servicing and delivering to the customer. Not only do we manufacture for ourselves, but many of the worlds’ top clothing labels rely on fabrics and manufacturing from our facilities.
- Customization: A custom product cannot be replicated. No other company has been able to balance the ability to sell, manufacture and deliver such a huge volume of individually customized garments. Our position in the marketplace is unique and difficult to imitate.
- Value: We are able to offer more value on a custom garment than our competitors offer on readymade items. We also have one of the widest price ranges of anyone in the industry, which increases the prospect pool for our sales professionals dramatically.
- Entrepreneurial Model: Being privately held is critical to our retention of both sales professionals and clients. Our clients prefer to deal with a single representative for a very long time. Therefore, our opportunity is designed to allow our sales professionals to build significant wealth and income by creating their own business and building clientele.
- Principle-Based Leadership: A significant aspect of our leadership culture is a focus on principles rather than techniques, fads, emotions or other short-term fixes.
