Company Story

Killing Herb Inc. – What a strange name…  Those of you who remember the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati cannot help but recall the sales and customer service “techniques” of Herb Tarlek.  Herb was the consummate pushy salesperson that had commission breath, promised everything and delivered nothing.  Although Herb was a stereotype, most of us have experienced his outdated style of communication during some consumer experience in our lives.  Today, there has been a major paradigm shift in business and the power now rests with the buyers, not the sellers.  Enter Killing Herb Inc.
