Jerry Wheaton, new Director of Sales at VoIP Supply

VoIP Supply is experiencing some growth these days having just been named to the list of Fast Track Companies in Western New York.

But we still needed someone to help guide us in the right direction so, after a long search, we’re very happy to announce the executive appointment of Jerry Wheaton as the new Director of Sales.

Wheaton will lead VoIP Supply’s sales team to expand opportunities with an emphasis on leading; not managing, supervising, or babysitting. He will also oversee several different divisions within the company and proactively recruit and train for all sales roles.

The Best Fit

“We’re excited to welcome Jerry to VoIP Supply and finally end a two-year long search for a new Director of Sales,” said VoIP Supply CEO Ben Sayers. “VoIP Supply is growing rapidly into our second decade of success so it’s important to have a proven sales leader with a technology background. But more importantly, Jerry is the best fit for our culture of doing well so that we can continue doing good for our community.”

Wheaton is a specialist in process implementation, strategic planning, coaching and mentoring, and sales organization development whose experience comes from spending the past two decades in the telecommunications and information technology industries.

Wheaton most recently worked in Sales for Innovative Solutions and prior to that was Vice President of Callfinity, Inc. He resides in the Rochester, NY area and holds a B.A. in English Literature from Niagara University.

Welcome aboard, Jerry.

This past Wednesday, June 19th, Buffalo Business First held its annual reception for the Fast Track Companies of Western New York.

When the list was unveiled, VoIP Supply ranked #33 out of 65 area companies with 30.93% sales growth over the last three years.

WNY Weathers The Storm

Congratulations to all of the other great companies on the list that help drive the success of our region.

Business First honors privately held companies in two categories, Established Companies and Young Companies, and ranks them based on the largest percentage increase in sales from 2010 to 2012.

Peter Marlette, managing partner of Fast Track sponsor Damon Morey LLP, expressed that it’s “refreshing to see that Western New York has weathered the storm” of the recent economic turmoil.

“Our region’s strong business community, supportive environment and passionate people demonstrate why WNY is a great place to start a business,” said Marlette.

Doing Well So That We Can Do Good

VoIP Supply’s CEO, Ben Sayers, is thrilled that his company not only made the list but was able to do so as a Certified B Corporation.

As a sustainable and responsible company, VoIP Supply’s mission is to “Do Well, Do Good, Suck Less:”

Focusing on these six words, we have climbed back on the list of fast growth companies in our region as well as focus on giving back to our local community and environment. It is our hope that our actions will inspire and challenge other businesses in the area to step up and deliver in kind, demonstrating clearly that a company can accelerate and grow even when the focus is not solely on revenue or profits.

I am extremely proud of the team at VoIP Supply and want to thank each and every one of them for their belief in what we do, why we do it and for delivering excellence every day.
