First Delta Group is a first class Sales Rep organization that has represented Casio and our Projector line since 2008. The First Delta team was instrumental in growing Casio’s CDW business from nothing to the number two projector brand at CDW.

The knowledgeable and professional staff is hard working and focused on ensuring the success of their partners. First Delta Group is the rep firm you want working for you and helping to elevate your brand. If you are considering a rep firm, look no further, your search is over and First Delta Group is the solution!”

Just Wireless is proud to have the First Delta Group as our manufacturer’s representative. It was this team that took a chance on our little known company some 20+ years ago, giving us our first break into National accounts with Walgreens.

Their passion for the business, unprecedented support and clear & concise communication has guaranteed our success and singled out First Delta Group above all the rest. I highly recommend working with Tammi, Erin, and the First Delta Group team, as they provide the type of partnering relationship that a progressive company like ours is always looking for."

We have been proud to partner with First Delta Group for over 16 years. They have consistently performed at a “Best in Class” level for us.

As First Delta has extended their reach to add new retail accounts in new areas, we have continued to benefit by partnering with them along that journey. They are diligent, determined and detailed in every step along the retail path providing competitive information, retail insight and developing strong relationships. Steve, Laurie and team think strategically and realize that a partnership is not one sided and that all parties must win for there to be long term success.
