December 08, 2015 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter on behalf of Rod Kersch. I worked with Rod over the last year or since Rod joined the First Data team. Rod has been an integral part of transforming the South Region that consists of 15 states from 1 sales director to 6 and 46 Business Consultants to 66. His efforts with the First Data bank relationships were integral in retaining and improving the lead generation into one of the top performing regions in the company. Rod was very quick to jump in and take over the responsibilities of his role. Within the first 3 days of coming aboard Rod was sourcing, interviewing and hiring talent for the understaffed South Region. In his first 10 months he has substantially improved the talent that resides in the South Region. Rods role as South Region Vice President is multi-faceted, It consists of building and managing the sales team of 6 sales directors and 66 Business Consultants, Bank and Merchant retention and relationship management as well as new business development. I was the Regional Vice President over the East Region when Rod joined the team and his impact helped create a higher performing sales organization and solidified our relationships with key merchants and banks. Rod has been essential in bringing aboard major new customers. He was absolutely instrumental in acquiring the National Concessionaires Association, Anne Sloans and more recently the Star Lumber and T&W Tire accounts. Rod and his team of Sales Directors developed the Bank relationship playbook that has been adopted companywide to manage all bank relationships expectations and responsibilities. Rod increased the regions Quarterly volume from $348,256,389 to $389,561,499 an 11% growth in volume. The regions POS Revenue grew from $602,616 to $1,006,242 a 41% growth in POS revenue. Productivity improved from 4.52 per BC to 6.41 per BC a 29% growth in productivity. I enjoyed working with Rod, appreciated his input and respected his opinions on shaping the performance of the South Region. I believe Rod would be a great asset to any company looking for a seasoned Vice President with a consistent track record of team development and financial growth.
