The Company had 347 sales employees at August 31, 2019, an increase of 11 or 3%, from the prior year quarter. The Company’s sales force is divided into sales focus teams (SFT’s). The Company had 98 SFT’s as of August 31, 2019 an increase of 2 from the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT’s in fiscal year 2020. The Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model, increasing quarterly net sales and net income by 10.5% and 19.3% respectively when compared to the prior year quarter.
