Malouf said in a news release that the expansion of the sales team is in response to the company’s exceptional growth over the past two years and aids Malouf in developing customized product lineups for each retail partner.
“Our growth and success really come down to the service and hustle of our sales team,” said Mike Douglas, vice president of sales for Malouf. “Our territory managers are incredible at working with regional reps, bringing in new accounts and helping existing accounts meet new sales goals. We added account managers to focus on logistics, pinpointing the right product mix, training, merchandising and shipping for each individual account.
“As a sales team, our focus has to extend beyond growth, and we think this new approach does that. We’re now using data to enhance service and promote higher sales for our partners. You can’t always think of growth as a few steps in front of you. You have to take a 360-degree scan of the landscape to make smart decisions for long-term growth.”
