Alterra Pest Control Sets National Record of 53,000 New Accounts; Now in San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) October 29, 2012

Alterra Pest Control blows by its original goal of growing their company by 50,000 new accounts in 2012. In May alone the company recorded over 10,000 new customer accounts and believed they were well on their way to achieving their growth goals for the year. By summers end they had already exceeded that goal and then some: 53,000 new customer accounts in a single summeran astounding achievement never before seen by a start up in the pest control industry.

The warm winter and spring enticed pests of all kinds to make an early entrance this year, and in record numbers. Texas saw increases in spiders, wasps, roaches and fire ants. Alterra was ready to combat these pesky pests, and customers came calling. The San Antonio area helped contribute approximately 2,850 new customers this summer alone.

Expanding their market in an opportune time was key, but Alterra Pest Control had a sound business plan in place to support and sustain the growth of their customer base. Part of this plan was to enhance the training and education of both the operational and sales teams of the company.

This year we significantly fine-tuned our training programs for both the sales and operations teams. We have completely revamped our process manuals, training videos, and weekly technical trainings. We are also grateful to our Chief Customer Officer, Derrick Royce, for developing Alterra University, a wide variety of customized trainings to help improve overall customer service. Vess Pearson, President
