The Company had 328 sales employees at November 30, 2021, a decrease of 29 or 8.7% from the prior year quarter. The Company’s sales force is divided into Sales focus teams (SFT’s). The Company had 101 SFT’s as of November 30, 2021, the same as the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT’s in fiscal year 2022. The Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model.
