Leading Provider Of Waste Recycling Services Creates Regional Sales Team In Order To Service Additional Clients

--OAKLEAF Expands Sales Team in Response to the
Growing Needs of Regional Clients--

East Hartford , CT. (April 28, 2009) —OAKLEAF, the nation’s leading provider of waste recycling services, has announced the creation of a Regional Sales Team, led by Senior Vice President, Ray Hatch.  For years, large multi-location national clients have derived tremendous value from lowering their waste spend.  Now, regional clients can realize the same benefits OAKLEAF’s national clients have enjoyed for years.

The formation of the Regional Sales Team allows OAKLEAF to provide enhanced service and resources to its regional clients.  “We are able to have more ‘Feet on the Street’ now,” says Hatch.  “This allows us to reach clients more directly, engage in valuable interaction and provide immediate attention to their needs.”  These added benefits equal big savings for OAKLEAF’s regional clients.  “We keep an eye on efficiencies.  This helps reduce our clients’ overall waste spend.”

OAKLEAF is leveraging its national award winning business model to benefit regional clients by implementing its hallmark programs.  This will yield greater savings, delivered faster, as a result of programs such as right-sizing, streamlining services, invoice consolidation, increased recycling, waste characterization analysis and waste diversion.

Formation of the Regional Sales Team comes at a time when cost savings and efficiencies are imperative for business survival.  By providing service and support at a regional level, OAKLEAF is able to dramatically reduce launch time while rolling-out tailored and turn-key solutions more quickly.  The result is accelerated waste savings for its clients.  “The team is able to have face-to-face interaction with our regional clients,” says Hatch.  “This enables us to see first-hand what they need and allows us to develop efficient solutions that produce savings faster.”
