Flow, the San Francisco based manufacturer/distributor of snowboards, bindings, and boots, announced today, the hiring of new sales reps in four territories.   Acting on the need for stronger coverage in certain territories, Terry DeLeo, Vice President and General Manager of Flow, decided to bring on rep groups in the New England, Mid- Atlantic, Southeast, and Rocky Mountain territories. 

“Flow has been growing rapidly, with significant increases in sales in bindings, boards, and boots, rep support to the retailer becomes essential to the success of the brand sell through.  With such growth, the company needs an increased sales force to adequately provide customer service to existing accounts and at the same time broaden distribution,” commented DeLeo, “Flow is rapidly becoming a serious competitor in the market, not only in bindings, but boards and boots as well, this requires more education for shops, which in turn requires the added sales coverage.”

The territories which have been affected are as follows: 

Southeast- now being handled by the Clifford Associates, the snowboard division is headed by Whit Clifford. The main office for Clifford Associates is based in Pompano Beach, FL, with branches in Ocoee, FL, and Statesboro, GA.
