Flojos announced today some significant additions to its sales team.
Flojos Director of Sales, Jeff Booth, said, ”I am pleased to announce a significant expansion of the sales team at Flojos. Flojos is one of the original sandal brands. Our goal with this team is to re-kindle the long-standing relationships Flojos has enjoyed with its specialty account base throughout the country. Obviously, it starts with great products, after that what drives success is a strong sales force out in the field providing sales and support to our retailers. With these new hires we have made our sales team and company stronger. I’m super excited to welcome the following crew members to our Flojos Family. “
