He is steadfast in his approach to delivering excellent customer service and brings with him a diverse range of experience, from project management and team building to market research and even coaching, which we can tap into\u2014not only to develop the Freemotion brand in Canada, but also further afield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on his appointment, Sheldon said: \u201cOne belief I have in the sales process is that my job starts once the product has been installed. That\u2019s where the real magic happens. We have to create a &#8220;concept&#8221; that allows business owners and directors to see the value in their investments. With so many great products and concepts being developed by Freemotion\u2014from functional fitness to incline training &#8211; I\u2019m looking forward to working with as many facilities as possible within Canada to ensure an enjoyable purchasing experience for all our customers and to help them realize the benefits and ROI from their new equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sheldon continued: \u201cThis is an exciting new chapter for me at a time when Freemotion is really ramping up the gears in North America and beyond, so I\u2019m delighted to join this amazing Sales Team and help drive forward my part of the global growth strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Freemotion is focused on propelling the brand to the next level, it recognizes the importance of hiring the right people to bolster its reputation of delivering outstanding customer service, upholding the company\u2019s values. Outside of work, Sheldon\u2019s infectious, upbeat personality, love for people, and dedication to helping others succeed are clear for all to see. Since 2009, he\u2019s been coaching the Senior Girls basketball team at North Surrey Secondary in British Columbia (having played at a high collegiate level himself) and he\u2019s also a basketball referee for the province.<\/p>\n<p>With the view that education is the foundation to all success\u2014making sure that a facility\u2019s staff and members all know what\u2019s going on, why and how they can get involved in every installation process\u2014Sheldon possesses the attributes, energy and enthusiasm that Freemotion believes will make him an asset to the company moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Sheldon\u2019s appointment follows the promotions of Chris McGill to Vice President of Global Sales and Marcy Spaulding to Director of Sales for North America, as well as the appointment of Leopoldo Torres as Sales Director for Latin America. By attracting and retaining some of the best talent in the fitness industry, it provides further evidence of Freemotion\u2019s desire to make an even greater impact globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>LOGAN, UT<\/strong> &#8211; Freemotion Fitness, a global manufacturer of premier fitness equipment, has appointed Sheldon Guy as Director of Sales-Canada, as it continues to actively enhance its operations in North America and worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[460],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4915,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4914\/revisions\/4915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
