Results

When it comes to finding top-tier talent in the building materials industry, SnapDragon Associates has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results. One recent success story highlights their expertise and commitment to excellence: the placement of a Vice President of Sales for a private equity-backed entity in Florida’s retail window and door industry.

A High-Stakes Search for Sales Leadership

The client, a newly formed entity focused on acquiring door and window distributors across Florida, needed a seasoned leader to spearhead their $250 million business. This VP of Sales role required a candidate with deep industry knowledge and experience across residential, multi-family, commercial, and tract builder markets. The stakes were high. The client had already experienced frustration with another search firm that failed to deliver results after three months of effort.

Enter SnapDragon Associates.

A Strategic Executive Search Process

Leveraging their extensive network of over 200,000 professionals, SnapDragon quickly identified and engaged top-performing passive candidates who aligned with the client’s vision and culture. Within a remarkably short 36-day timeframe, they presented five highly qualified VP of Sales candidates three of whom advanced to the final round of interviews.

According to the client, the decision was so close that it could have come down to a coin toss. All three finalists had impressive track records and were exceptionally well-suited for the role.

“For SnapDragon, our focus is always on three key pillars,” said Mark Barnard, CEO of SnapDragon Associates. “Those pillars are: skillset, proven track record of success, and cultural fit. With that in mind, we delivered some of the industry’s best to a new client who had previously doubted that one executive search firm could outperform another. By the end of the process, they were happily surprised and gave us high marks for our efficiency and results.”

Results That Exceed Expectations

The successful candidate, a top-performing sales leader, not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations. This placement was a testament to SnapDragon’s ability to understand the unique needs of their clients and deliver tailored solutions. The client’s satisfaction was evident. They praised SnapDragon for their professionalism, speed, and ability to deliver where others had fallen short.
