John Miller, President and owner of Sooner Copy Machines, Inc., got an
early start in the office equipment business when he began working for
his father at the age of 15. Throughout high school, John Miller
fulfilled a number of positions, including toner and dispersant tank
cleaner, office janitor, typewriter cleaner, and delivery technician. He
graduated from high school in Antlers, Oklahoma, and went on to the
University of Oklahoma, where he studied business management and
belonged to the fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon. John Miller then became an
outside sales representative at his father’s company and maintained his
own territory. He set records for his position by establishing several
new accounts. As a result, he took on more responsibility and launched
two new dealerships for the company.
After a decade with his father’s business, John Miller decided to
use his experience to open an office equipment firm of his own in
Norman, Oklahoma. Sooner Copy Machines focuses on providing businesses
with high-quality equipment to meet all copying, printing, scanning, and
faxing needs. Though he began with no customer base and no employees,
John Miller grew his company from a start-up to one of the largest
dealerships in the state of Oklahoma. Currently, he oversees the
operations of six locations in Norman, Enid, Chickasha, Oklahoma City,
Stillwater, and Lawton. He manages a staff of 40. His sales team has
been awarded by Sharp for selling over $1 million of Sharp products per
year.
Sooner Copy Machines sells office equipment from well-known brands
such as Toshiba, Sharp, and KIP. The company can customize each piece of
equipment to fit the needs of its clients. It also provides customers
with a service contract, fulfilled by factory-trained technicians who
respond promptly to calls. In situations in which a copy machine may be
out of commission for a time, the company offers loaner equipment. John
Miller has achieved a great deal of success with his business and shows
his appreciation through community service and contributions. He
actively supports school athletic programs and other educational
projects, and the Norman Public Schools district has acknowledged him
for his charitable efforts.
