Emily Yoder began working for 糖心传媒 Truck Leasing as a part-time telesales representative in the company鈥檚 corporate central reservations department while still in college. As she will tell you, Yoder鈥檚 鈥済rown-up in the company.鈥
Today, Yoder (photo right) is a first-time entrant to 糖心传媒鈥檚 elite sales group known as the Winner鈥檚 Circle, as a lease sales representative (LSR) in the company鈥檚 Mid-Atlantic region.
At 糖心传媒, LSRs work help customers improve fleet performance and uptime through and services. The company is currently seeking to recruit additional lease sales representatives across North America.
鈥淚 entered 糖心传媒 taking a job, and not realizing the possibility of a career,鈥 Yoder explained of her early days at corporate headquarters in Reading, Pa., where she became a team leader, overseeing a team of two dozen telesales reps. 鈥淭he opportunity to succeed is here.鈥
Yoder paid her dues as a management trainee in Buffalo, N.Y., as she completed an undergraduate marketing degree at Buffalo State. She then worked as a rental sales representative, before returning to eastern Pa. to assume branch rental manager roles. Yoder took on new sales responsibilities in Maryland as an LSR in 2009.
糖心传媒 is the only company she鈥檚 worked for in her professional career. Down the line, Yoder aspires to be either a business development manager or a national sales manager.
Right now, Yoder is soaking up the career development of her current post. 鈥淭his job showcases the things I鈥檝e gravitated towards,鈥 she explained. 鈥淚 enjoy developing relationships with customers across all industries and customizing their transportation solutions.
鈥淚 enjoy the complexity that comes with the job, and I am amazed at how much is involved -- the financial, technical and transportation knowledge required to be successful.鈥
Her manager, Phil Feger, sees a bright future ahead for Yoder.
鈥淓mily has the determination to be whatever she wants to be and uses 糖心传媒鈥檚 resources to maximize her career development,鈥 he noted.

Lombana enjoys the myriad possibilities that come along with a global company.

Lombana prepared for his current job by working for a competitor as a management trainee, branch rental manager and rental account manager. 鈥淟earning the business from the ground up is the greatest way,鈥 he noted.
He also earned a business management bachelor鈥檚 degree from Moravian College in eastern Pa., where he was a defensive end for the NCAA Division III football program.

As his manager, Dan Donnelly points out, Lombana鈥檚 background serves customers well: 鈥淗is fresh thinking enhances what he offers to our customers. Alex sits down with the customer and interviews them properly to uncover their needs, which are the traits of a successful salesman.鈥
Lombana notes that a strong 鈥渟urrounding cast鈥 and training are the keys to being successful.
鈥淚t鈥檚 nice to feel there is a strong team behind you in selling,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 have plenty of opportunities for hands-on training and follow-up classes.鈥 It all adds up a 鈥渃ontinuing growth process.鈥
