Everybody is great… the company's great. Knock on wood, everybody is straight‑shootin’. What they say is what they do……I'm getting what I anticipated and what I expected."
"I'm surprised at just how supportive and positive everybody is… usually there's somebody who's a jerk. Haven't seen them yet."
"Four guys flew out from the West Coast as soon as I was hired… they were great.

Mainly, to be honest, I think everyone here is super friendly. It's a lot of good people so far. Um, haven't had any issues there and, you know, they're putting me to work, which I like, I'm staying busy.

The Charlotte team continues to make strong, thoughtful progress, with leadership demonstrating a clear vision for both growth and culture. Even while managing a busy period and stepping in to cover multiple responsibilities, the team remains focused on building a scalable and sustainable operation.
There is a strong emphasis on strategic hiring, ensuring the right people are brought in at the right time. Leadership is intentional about building out the sales team thoughtfully, recognizing both the immediate needs of the business and the long-term opportunity for growth—especially with expansion into new markets like Raleigh and the broader North Carolina region.
Culture and leadership style stand out as major strengths. The approach is rooted in trust, empowerment, and relationship-building rather than micromanagement. Team members are encouraged to focus on long-term success, developing meaningful client relationships instead of transactional wins. This creates an environment where individuals can grow, take ownership, and succeed at a high level.
Ricky, in particular, is off to a strong start. He’s highly motivated, driven to succeed, and actively working to generate new business in a competitive market. Leadership recognizes his effort and is providing the right level of coaching and support to help him build momentum at a sustainable pace. There’s a clear understanding that success in a new market takes time, and the team is committed to setting him up for long-term success rather than short-term pressure.
Overall, the team in Charlotte is building something meaningful—combining strong leadership, intentional growth, and a supportive culture. The foundation in place positions them well for continued expansion, both in personnel and market presence, while maintaining a focus on quality and long-term results.

My experience has been very positive so far. The onboarding process has been well organized, with a combination of structured training, weekly learning modules, and ongoing support that has helped me quickly get up to speed. From the start, I’ve had opportunities to meet with customers, conduct site visits, and contribute to real business opportunities, which has made the transition both engaging and rewarding. What stands out most is that the role has been exactly as it was presented during the hiring process, with strong support, meaningful growth opportunities, and the chance to make an impact early on.

10-4. I sent some info to Trent yesterday for him to have in his conversation with our president. I'm hoping to be given the green light to hire more than one account manager. You have definitely provided us with some great candidates. I replied to your email regarding Stephen

It’s been a heck of a first year—up to expectations and more. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit.”
“My first year has exceeded every expectation. I was very lucky to land here, and it’s been an incredible experience.

I had a really positive experience throughout this process. From the beginning, I felt like I was supported in doing my due diligence and asking the questions that mattered to me. Having someone act as a mediator between me and the company made a big difference—it took some of the pressure off and helped ensure that all the important conversations were handled thoughtfully and professionally.
What stood out most was how thorough everything felt. I was given the space to fully vet the opportunity, connect with the right people, and ultimately make a decision I felt confident in. At no point did I feel rushed or unsure—I felt informed and empowered every step of the way.
Overall, I’d absolutely recommend going through this process to anyone considering a similar move. It was a smooth, supportive experience that helped me land in a role that truly aligns with what I was looking for.

Making this move has been a breath of fresh air. The transition was smooth, the culture has been outstanding, and everything promised during the hiring process has been delivered exactly as described.

Everything is going great. Smooth transition and a great fit for sure….. I've already just been getting in front of customers and pretty much proposing service agreements within the first 30 days."
"Thank you again for getting my foot in the door… I'm pretty sure you were one of the first people I talked to the day of the layoff.

Storm has been fantastic—truly a great placement. She came in with strong industry relationships and hit the ground running, which has been a huge advantage for us. Everything has gone exactly as advertised, and we couldn’t be happier.

I always knew where I stood in the process, what the next steps would be, and how best to prepare. That level of support made a significant difference and gave me confidence throughout the transition. The experience was efficient, well organized, and free of surprises. Because of the positive experience and the quality of communication, I would not hesitate to work with the team again, whether for my own career needs or when seeking talent for my organization.
