Rotary Announces New Additions to Sales Team
Rotary Corporation has appointed two new territory sales managers as it expands the sales division to meet the needs of a growing dealer network, according to an announcement by Mark Smith, Chief Sales Officer.
Robert Swearingen, who has over 25 years of experience in the outdoor power equipment industry, will serve as Rotary’s territory manager for the South Florida region. He owned a dealership for 11 years and was involved in every aspect of the business, from service and equipment repairs to sales and management. Swearingen will be responsible for sales and support as well as dealer recruitment.
In addition, Jordan Reha, who served as a regional sales manager for another outdoor power equipment supplier, will oversee business recruitment and provide sales support for Rotary’s dealer network in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.
“Both Robert and Jordan bring first-hand dealer experience to our sales team,” commented Smith. “They understand the opportunities and challenges facing independent dealers these days, and I feel confident both will build a powerful partnership with our customers to ensure their long-term success.”
Recognized as the world’s leading supplier of outdoor power equipment parts, tools and accessories, Rotary serves customers in all 50 states and 75 countries around the globe. The family-owned business operates seven U.S. distribution centers plus alternate shipping points strategically located throughout the nation. Next day delivery is available in most areas of the continental U.S. for orders received by 4 p.m. eastern time.
Approximately 80% of Rotary’s complete line of parts is manufactured in America including mower blades, trimmer line and filters at the company’s facilities in Georgia and Arizona.
