IRVINE, CA – MARCH 16, 2010 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized worldwide amongst top touring golf professionals as the foremost leading wedge designer and manufacturer, announced today that their sales team continues to grow with the newly appointed Sean Joyce.
According to FOURTEEN GOLF Sales Manager Kyumin Shim, “Sean joining the sales team is instrumental to our continued growth. He has close to 14 years experience selling hard goods in the Midwest area. His relationships at retail are immeasurable and we’re confident that he will be a major asset to the company in a very important territory.”
Joyce represents an old era of great independent sales reps. In today’s world of financial insecurity the majority of talented sales executives are forced to become company reps. Joyce with his blend of sales skills, confidence, and relationships has garnered him a reputation as one of the best independent sales reps in the industry.
Joyce is known for launching unknown or new brands into the marketplace. He works demo days as a grass roots way of introducing new equipment to potential consumers. In fact he has completed over 200 demo days. As a professional he seeks out areas which can help him build his business and help his clients. He is currently a member of the Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan Salesman Association. To work every angle possible, Joyce has assisted in pursuing PGA Touring Professionals to play his respective golf equipment.
He even appeared in a television show presenting Sonartec to Chicagoland’s active golfers.
As a successful sales executive, he has received the following notable awards:
*Salesman of the Year for Sonartec Golf
*Salesman of the Year for Tour Edge Golf
*Team Mate of the Year for Tour Edge Golf
*Hardest Worker of the Year for ECCO Shoes
Currently, in addition to FOURTEEN GOLF Joyce represents ECCO where he has established over 100 new accounts and Dunning where he has helped sign four key PGA Professional Staff Players. He is also number #2 in sales for 2008 and 2009. Prior to the joining these burgeoning companies, he worked with Nickent and Tour Edge.
“Sean is a great addition to the FOURTEEN GOLF sales team. His extensive knowledge with hard goods combined with his work ethic and relationships at retail should prove noteworthy. We welcome him aboard,” said Marcy Kamoda COO of FOURTEEN GOLF.
“I am going to enjoy selling FOURTEEN GOLF equipment. The product is authentic, innovative, and appeals to the better play. And, I am really looking forward to the demo days where golfers can see firsthand the benefits of their equipment,” said Sean Joyce.
FOURTEEN GOLF brings out the strength in a player. Like their “feather” moniker which represent the best scores in golf; a birdie, eagle, and albatross. Their equipment will bring out the best scores for any golfer, professional or amateur.
