Thank you for your interest in opening an account with Elias Wilf, a trusted leader in flooring distribution serving the Mid- Atlantic region since 1915. We are committed to providing high-quality flooring solutions, exceptional customer service, and a seamless purchasing experience tailored to your business needs.
As a valued prospective customer, we invite you to apply to open an account with Elias Wilf, which once officially opened, will give you access to our extensive product catalog, competitive pricing, and dedicated support team. With our strong industry expertise and commitment to excellence, we are confident that partnering with Elias Wilf will bring added value to your business. One important point… The Wilf team cannot discuss pricing or provide samples of any type until an account is officially open with an active account number.
Elias Wilf and our vendors are fully committed to the independent flooring retailer, and you will not find our lines in home centers or big box retailers. Additionally, Elias Wilf does not have over the counter sales like many of our competitors, to sell directly to contractors, builders, or property management companies. With that in mind there is a vetting process in place to protect that commitment to our existing partner accounts.
There are three steps to the process of opening a new account with Elias Wilf.
#1) New account inquiry application profile
To initiate the process of opening a new account, kindly complete and return this document at your earliest convenience. Once the application is received, a determination will be made to verify that your account meets Elias Wilf’s corporate guidelines, and if so, your information will be directed to an Elias Wilf sales representative to contact you for an interview.
#2) EW Sales Representative Interview
Upon approval, the Elias Wilf sales representative for your region will evaluate the info, review proximity to our existing customers for any potential conflict and then make contact to schedule an interview to discuss a meaningful partnership, or conversely, to discuss any potential roadblocks. Following the interview, our sales representatives will forward their recommendation and level of commitment to their Regional Vice President for final discussion and/or approval
#3) New Account Credit Info Package
Once the evaluation process is complete and your account is approved by regional VP, the credit department will send all required documentation for your completion. Upon receiving all the completed new account application forms, your account will be active within three business days.
If you have any questions or require assistance, our team is ready and happy to guide you through every step of the process. At Elias Wilf, we are always ready to build long-term and meaningful partnerships, and excited to welcome you to our family.
Thank you for your interest in considering Elias Wilf as your trusted flooring supplier.
