Growth = opportunity

One of the great rewards of working at an emerging growth company is watching people develop - and being able to give them new opportunities. Today's blog is about one such opportunity because we're getting ready for a growth spurt at Guidepoint.

The next few months ought to be pretty interesting at our primary call center in Fort Worth, Texas. The addition of new products and services for two new automotive OEMs is going to cause a significant uptick in activation, tech service and service calls for Guidepoint.

Fortunately, the guy in charge of our services, Clyde Landis, is way ahead of the curve in terms of planning, hiring and execution. He's in the process of hiring more activation specialists to handle increased volume that we should see throughout the summer and fall months. In order to properly hire, train and manage a larger team, he's promoted Pam Bilbrey to the post of Inside Sales Manager, effective June 14. Pam's been with the company for a couple of years and has proven herself in a variety of roles.

Here's what Clyde says about his new inside sales manager: "Pam brings a wealth of sales experience to the table; we all have seen that. But, she also has great judgment and a unique ability to train and develop talent regardless of skill set. Take a few minutes to congratulate her now while she can appreciate it; as of June 14, she won’t have the time."

Congrats Pam!
