And I’m excited to have Scott step into this important leadership role. His passion, determination, and strategic thinking will help fuel sales growth for our international members,” said Nick Talarico, vice president of Sales & Business Development for Do it Best.

Sproul, who most recently served as the company’s National Retail Performance Manager, has a proven history of driving retail sales. After a successful career with an independent chain, he joined Do it Best as a territory sales manager in 1999. This was followed by a promotion to Regional Manager in 2007 and then leading the Retail Performance team in 2012.
