Storm Creek’s Post

It's not every day that a lawn care salesman becomes the sales manager of a manufacturing company. Yet, here I am. My journey? Anything but ordinary. I married into the Ramos family, where a strict 'no family in business' policy meant my path to ARK Ramos was anything but direct. I aimed for a business degree, excelled in lawn care sales, and even bought and sold a successful franchise with my wife, Courtney. When fatherhood called, I embraced being a stay-at-home dad, squeezing in contract sales for A.R.K. Ramos on the side. My transition from the lawn to the sales floor wasn't planned. It was driven by necessity, curiosity, and life's unpredictable turns. Now, as Sales Manager, I navigate pricing, catalogs, and strategy, applying lessons from the lawns to the manufacturing world. Here's what I learned: Your path doesn't define your destination. Adaptability, a willingness to learn, and hard work can lead you to roles you never imagined. To those navigating their own unconventional paths: Embrace the detours. They might just lead you to where you're meant to be. #CareerJourney #SalesLeadership #UnconventionalPaths #ARKRamos #ManufacturingExcellence

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone numbers). The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation. Boy: 'Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn? Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): 'I already have someone to cut my lawn.' Boy: 'Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.' Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn. Boy: (with more perseverance) : 'Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach , Florida.' Woman: No, thank you. With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy. Store Owner: 'Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job.' Boy: 'No thanks.' Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one. Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the Job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!' Moral: This is what we call 'Self Appraisal'. Every time if we don't get ahead of others, we blame others for it. We should look to our self and compare, find own weaknesses and work hard to throw away weaknesses. Always Work Hard, Honest and with full Dedication. It will always pay up. #hardworkpays #honestypays

"Cliff was hired last year as a salesman in our Lonestar Region in Texas. He goes above and beyond the role of salesman, doing QC on jobs, and hopping in a mixer when needed. It seems like almost every day Cliff is calling with news of another big job he got for us, and we had to add mixers and drivers to keep up with all the work he gained us. He always has a positive can-do attitude and is a huge part of our future growth in Texas. Thank you, Cliff, for all you do." Nominated by: Jeramy Croell, Territory Manager Favorite thing about working at Croell: Getting to be a big part of this fast-growing, family-oriented company and enjoying the challenges that are asked of me to help this company grow. Most interesting project: Stephenville ISD football stadium - 20,000 yards! What advice would you give to someone who might want to join Croell: Be excited to be a part of this company. Don't be afraid to learn this product and how it works. Hobbies include: Spending time with my family and friends. Going out to listen to music with my wife. One thing people probably don’t know about me: I've been active in the fire service for 29 years. Bucket list: Building another antique truck. #CroellInc #EmployeeSpotlight #EmployeeRecognition
