Paul Hinson

Stoked to be representing some cool products, meeting cool people, and enjoying the open road...unless its traffic in Orlando or Palmetto Expressway..but seriously stoked to do this for a living.

Working as a Rep, has been my passion for over 18 years. It has been in fields ranging from Retail and Commercial Sales, to my last venture in managing the Southeast Territory in Direct Sporting Good Retailers and Commercial Health Club Settings for the past 8 years with Polar Electro, Inc. As a Consumer Electronics / Sporting Goods professional I have 8+ years of exceeding volume and profit goals with National Retailors, Military (AAFES/NEXCOM), FIT 2 Run. Skilled at exceeding performance targets in both Local Markets and National Accounts and successfully grew profitable volume and shares in the largest National Retailers covering Florida, Puerto Rico, Caribbean and Military. Have experience in overseeing, supervising and handling over 80 individual accounts, 200+ doors, within the territory. Efficient in overlooking small scale accounts ($5,000 total sales per year) to large scale accounts ($750,000 total sales per year). Created in-store Guru programs and established training/education tools for the company used by retails partners nationwide. Expanded the sale region from $650,000 to a $1.8mil territory.

Excel in collaborating cross functionally with Supply Chain, Marketing, Finance, Forecasting, Category Management and Trade Planning to develop profitable and sales driving programs for the accounts and company.
