South Region’s Sales Engineering and Project Management Teams “On Fire”

The South Region, on the heels of almost tripling its equipment sales volume in 2021, is off to a record start in 2022.

According to Josh Falcone, SVP, Sales & Integration, the South Region’s orders in 2021 were almost triple its 2020 revenue. Falcone says, “we’ve already done our entire 2021 volume in the first four months of 2022.”

What accounts for the business development success?
Falcone attributes the results to 1) CPS’ expansion of its sales engineering activity, giving kudos to Ian Black and Cody Thompson, and 2) the project management team “for handling the high volume of activity, navigating supply chain issues, and delivering a premium customer experience.” Wesley Wolfe, Kristian Harper, and Debi Welker received special recognition.

Key 2021 contracts included:

  • The North Carolina Department of Transportation, which covers any genset used on NCDOT projects in the state during the next two to three years.
  • Two contracts with Novant Health for the South Charlotte Medical Center and the Thomasville Medical Center.

Topping the 2022 new contracts list to date:

  • First Health Moore (NC) Regional Hospital
  • Townsend (NC) Water Treatment Plant
  • Duke University
  • Henry Fork (NC) Waste Water Treatment Facility
