O'Rourke Sales Company - Today
In today's fast paced digital world, O'Rourke Sales Company continues to stay on the cutting edge in technology. Their competitive edge within the industry ensures their dealers have the most up-to-date services, products, and continued commitment to excellence. Their long-term success has been garnered through sacrifices, calculated risks, and a genuine focus on O'Rourke Sales Company's company goals.
What is the secret of this company's longevity? Let us take you back to how OSC originated.
O'Rourke Sales Company - Yesterday
O'Rourke Bros. has been in the distribution business since 1965, well before digital satellite became a hot-ticket electronics' item. In fact, their distribution business got started when the oldest brother, Jim, became interested in CB radios. That was two to three years before the CB boom. In that year, the two brothers - Jeff and Jim - started buying and selling CBs. Their success was generated from the sale of their first CB which inspired them to immediately purchase 200 more, which were sold before the day was out.
Jeff and Jim are just two of the six brothers in the O'Rourke family. Their parents, Leo and Theresa, instilled an integral sense of perseverance, honesty, morality, loyalty, and dedication to service in each of their six sons; and it was through their encouragement that Jeff and Jim, the original O'Rourke Bros., launched a lucrative career in the distribution of electronic products. Jay, their younger brother, entered the picture upon graduation from technical school. Their brother, Joe, became part of the rapidly growing family distributorship in 1981. Today, Jim, Joe, and Jeff own the corporation; each has his own responsibilities, which is why the family-run company has been so successful. The dealers prefer OSC because the company has grown from a small CB operation to one with multiple locations throughout the U.S. Much of their success comes from a simple philosophy: providing excellence in customer service and making sure that each employee knows every aspect of the business. Dealers can also talk directly to the owners as they are very involved with every aspect of the business. They take care of their customers, and realize they are their business.
