SJS Group
National Sales Manager
February 1998 to March 2001 (3 Years, 2 Months)

• Delivered 54% revenue growth in under two years—scaling national sales from $26M to $40M through aggressive account acquisition and operational optimization.

• Managing a team of six sales staff members both in-house and remotely.

• Championed new business development and national account strategy, directly contributing to record-breaking sales performance and establishing category leadership.

This letter should serve to confirm as our reference for Hartley Berg.

Hartley was initially hired as our Western Regional Sales Manager. He quickly opened a number of regional chains and independent accounts, and serviced them with detail and diligence. We moved Hartley to Toronto in January 2000, to serve as our National Sales Manager.

During Hartley’s tenure at SJS Group, our sales increased from $26 million (fiscal 1998), to $40 million (fiscal 1999). Obviously, we were sad to see Hartley leave us. Hartley resigned to return home to British Columbia to pursue personal interests. He was a definite asset, and was a reliable team player, who we are proud to recommend to potential employers.

For any additional information, I can be reached at 905-362-3768.

Sincerely,

Stan Samole
