LEED’S HIRES TWO REGIONAL SALES MANAGERS AND REALIGNS CUSTOMER SERVICE MODEL
PITTSBURGH — February, 25 2008 - Leed’s, a member of Polyconcept North America and the second largest supplier within the promotional products industry, hires a Regional Sales Manager for the Wisconsin territory, a Regional Sales Manager representing Leed’s in the Washington, Oregon, and Idaho regions, and also adjusts the sales structure by reassigning roles within the customer service model.
Luke Hensler will represent Leed’s as the Regional Sales Manager in Wisconsin beginning in February. Hensler is an 11-year veteran to the promotional product industry, joining Leed’s from Hartwell Apparel. In 2008, Hensler was elected as the President of the Promotional Product Association of Wisconsin – PPAW.
Shelley Stewart will join the Leed’s team on March 10, 2008, as the Regional Sales Manager for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Stewart previously was a promotional product distributor and comes to Leed’s with eight years of experience in the industry. According to David Grobisen, National Sales Manager for the West, Stewart’s "experience as a distributor will be a natural fit with Leed’s consultative selling approach."
To enhance the customer experience and add perspective to Customer Operations, Stacey Stewart, who currently is the Manager of Order Processing, will become the Manager of Sales Support Operation. Deb Jackson, the current Manager of Sales Support, will take over Stewart’s role as Manager of Order Processing. Shannon Sylva, Director of Customer Operations, explains, "This leadership change not only recognizes and supports the contributions that both Stacey and Deb have made to the success of their respective departments and to Leed’s, but also further positions Leed's to improve its standing as the premier supplier in the industry. This is a wonderful opportunity for Leed’s to become even more efficient and customer-centric and for Stacey and Deb to apply the knowledge they already have in a new and exciting setting."
