    Total 181 words used.

    The amount of growth Tosh has accomplished within Aptive is unprecedented among other pest control companies. 

    Under Tosh’s direction, Aptive has developed a world-class training program to help employees succeed in their communities and careers. In fact, when representatives switch to Aptive from another direct-to-home company, they sell roughly 60% more than they did with the previous competitor. As a result, Aptive has unparalleled employee retention, which is even more impressive given the high turnover of the sales and pest control industries.

    Tosh also oversees weekly trainings by company leaders to review both verbal and non-verbal communication techniques and provide role-play opportunities. Additionally, Tosh has prioritized going beyond traditional sales techniques to offer employees courses about important life skills, from investing to parenting.

    One of Tosh’s signature efforts is implementing gamification into his sales programs. He oversees creating teams, hosting tournaments, and offering out-of-this-world prizes to incentivize reps. Tosh knows his employees and provides incentives that reach his target audience, from sneakers to electronics to luxury cars. Tosh truly trains, incentivizes, and supports his sales team members to reach new heights.
