AMP Security moves to new corporate
headquarters and adds additional staff to keep up with its steady growth
AMP Security is pleased to announce its
new corporate headquarters in American Fork, Utah and the additional staff members
it has added as it continues to expand its sales force and markets across the
US.
In a down economy, one Utah-based security company, AMP
Security, has soared in growth increasing its revenue by phenomenal rates. AMP Security, which was featured as the 5th
fastest growing company in Utah County by Utah Valley Business Quarterly
Magazine, growing by 228% over a 3 year period from 2007-2010, with revenues in
excess of $27 million in 2010 (http://utahvalleybusinessq.com/uv50/2011-uv50-top-30-fastest-growing-companies).
With many companies
experiencing significant downsizing and layoffs, AMP founder Allen Bolen, has
capitalized on the opportunity that the economy has created in the job market,
“a tough employment market increases
the supply of talented people for key positions,” says Bolen. Many companies and start-ups have been
cautious to enter the market place or nervous to add expansions to its current
operations, but Bolen states, “I believe in grindstone mentality…grinding it
out takes longer, but it’s the surer path. If you wait for big breaks, you may
be left waiting.”
One of the keys to
AMP’s phenomenal growth has been its focus on its sales staff. AMP provides the best training, support and
opportunity to its sales force, as evidenced by its incredible sales rep and
office averages. AMP averaged 108
accounts per sales rep in 2011, soaring head and shoulders above its
competitors. This was an increase from
2010 in both averages and total sales volume.
At AMP, sales reps are the lifeblood of the company and Bolen believes
that one of the pillars of AMP’s success is its unique philosophy of “Treating its sales reps like customers”. (http://www.workatamp.com)
AMP is pleased to announce its expansion of corporate
headquarters and latest additions to its corporate staff in order to keep up
with its phenomenal growth over the past several years.
AMP Security recently moved its headquarters to North Pointe Business Park, one of American
