MEET OUR SALES TEAM:
The VMI sales team, under the banner of STL/FaithWorks, is managed and led by committed Christians with many years of experience in the Christian publishing and retail industry. The FaithWorks Sales Force has honed this hands-on background to gain access to the major retailers, wholesalers, on-line retailers and independent stores ... and to secure prime shelf space for our clients' products when possible. Noted for their conscientious attention to detail, our reps have earned the professional respect of the accounts they call on and the publishers they represent. The STL/FaithWorks sales organization has virtually unmatched credentials and a reputation for generating solid sales.
As Head of Marketing for STL, Darren Henry will oversee the development of the ABA chains, independents, and mass accounts for STL/FaithWorks, STL/Authentic Publishing, and the rest of the STL family divisions, including VMI Publishers. His established relationships with general market giants such as Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Baker & Taylor are a tremendous asset to our impressive sales force.
Darren Henry worked nearly nine years for Multnomah Publishers in a variety of sales roles, most recently managing sales to general trade and mass market retailers of all varieties. Widely considered one of the top salesmen in Christian publishing to ABA/mass market accounts, Darren brings a new level of expertise to a growing sales staff at STL.
STL is fortunate to have industry veteran, David Sheets as its Chief Sales Officer. As CSO, David will oversee the sales efforts of STL/FaithWorks along with the STL US divisions giving him a broad scope of contact within the industry.
David's experience in publishing is exemplary. Having worked in special markets and international sales with industry leaders, Multnomah and Tyndale House Publishers, David has maintained strong relationships over the years that serves STL/FaithWorks and VMI Publishers well.
