Hey there, Clay. Thanks for emailing me back. The position which is available there is an independent rep opportunity. The territory in Seattle is one of the best in the country, and therefore calls for a strong, knowledgeable man or woman to really take charge of it. We have a proposed territory with 97 aquarium stores in it. The great thing is that the territory is small geographically, which means that the rep wouldn't waste a lot of time on the road, leaving more time for actually meeting with customers. Should the applicant want other lines as well, we know several other lines that are hiring, which he or she also could represent. Our strong relationship with these companies means that our recommendation practically guarantees the rep hire with them as well. If you know someone who is interested, the task is simple: they simply give me a call at the office and we have an informal chat about options. We gear the exact position around the applicant, thereby reducing stress and creating a strong team relationship from the very beginning that works for everyone involved. To reach me directly, call me at 1-800-633-6451 ext. 178. It's a great position at a great company. I look forward to talking to someone through you soon. Have a great day! Let us know how we can support your society in the near future. Sincerely yours, Ryan Ryan, The opportunities you have outlined in the note below sound very interesting. I have forwarded your note onto a number of individuals in our Society. I was curious about the positions and was wondering if you have more information that you could share with me about them? If so, is there the ability to email it to me?

GENERAL OFFICES 230 SAM HOUSTON ROAD MESQUITE, TX 75149 TOLLFREE: (800) 955-1323 PHONE: (972) 285-5471 FAX: 972-289-9534 EMAIL: petsales@fritzind.com Dear Clay, I have recently come across your organization and it seems likely you may have some upper-end men and women with strong aquatic backgrounds interested in working within the pet/aquarium industry. I am mailing you with the hope of finding intelligent, articulate, goal-oriented folks who would make a great addition to the Fritz Team. Fritz is a great employer with competitive pay and good benefits. The team here is spectacular. The company has a wonderful program that encourages long-term employment and professional growth. Many of the men and women who work here have been with the company over a decade. Our Production Manager has been with the company over 20 years, our Operations Manager has been here 10 years, our Customer Service Manager has been here 20 years, our R&D president has been here over 10 years. Few pet companies can boast such obvious employee satisfaction! Yet there are many young men and women (such as myself) who are not 'old school' or 'old minded'. Fritz Weisend, our CEO, encourages every single person in the company to openly communicate ideas. No one goes ignored. For this reason, our company has one of the highest sales growth rates in the nation (over 20% annually). For the 2002 season, we have over 10 new products debuting, a new color catalogue, some great promotional programs for stores and more. For the right person, Fritz is a great company to work for. Three separate divisions share a multi-million dollar R&D facility. Millions of dollars in annual sales, a strong sales network and a commitment to quality and customer care make Fritz Industries a very worthy employer. We've recently decided to expand our sales department and have 9 positions currently available throughout the country. We have an opening for a microbiologist and for a Aquaculture specialist. All positions allow for professional growth and promotion. Potential positions include regional salesmen and distributor rep, and several Regional Sales Coordinator positions are also available. We are looking for men and women with a STRONG aquatic background. We want people who care about the animals, are honest and ethical and ideally have some sales experience under their belts. What are your thoughts? Does your club have any members that are active salesmen for pet companies now? Maybe you know someone who isn't appreciated for their hard work and positive attitude. Maybe a young fish store worker who is ready to take the next step towards a rewarding career. Would you consider adding a "blip" to your news letter or website to help us get the word out? You have the ability to help someone you know find a long-term employer that will treat them like gold. I know that you have a finger to the pulse of the hobby. Any information or help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to discussing this with you further. Should you have any ideas for me, please forward them via email to petsales@fritzind.com or give me a ring at 800-633-6451 ext. 178. I sincerely appreciate your time, ideas and (of course) working with your organization in the future. Sincerely, Ryan Petersen Sales Coordinator petsales@fritzind.com <mailto:azaffke@fritzind.com> Phone: 972-288-6451 EXT 178 Fax: 972-289-9534 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/related multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html image/jpeg ---
