Kansas City, KS (PRWEB) October 27, 2012
Earlier this year, Alterra Pest Control began a rapid expansion across the nation opening 13 new markets with Kansas City, KS as one of them. They also set a goal to increase their customer base by 50,000 new accounts. As the weather conditions gave way to an especially buggy summer, Alterra was ready and waiting to serve households looking to eliminate the unwanted pests. And as the summer progressed, it soon became clear that Alterra would exceed their growth goals. An unprecedented 53,000 new customers were signed in a single summer; 2550 of them came from the Kansas City area.
Alterra Pest Control proved to be in the right place at the right time, but they were also prepared with a well thought out business plan to retain and sustain the growth of their customer base. Part of this plan included enhanced 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
As exciting as all this summer growth is, Alterra remains committed to their CEOs definition of growth: better, not just bigger.

Alterra firmly maintains that it is their people who are important, both their employees and their customers.
I attribute Alterras massive growth to each one of our employees diligently living by our 10 Core Values, which are the back bone of our culture, says Royce about his staff and company culture. In any business, you have to get the right people onboard to ensure long-term success.
