Our People
The steady,
controlled growth our agency has gone through in the past has afforded
Randy Putnam and Associates the luxury of being extremely choosy about whom
we hire. Each of our associates came to the firm rich in experience. There
is very low employee turnover, which gives this Company the kind of depth
and continuity that only comes from years in the field. Our people truly
are our strength and accordingly when we represent your company, our
strength becomes your strength and our experience becomes your experience.
Our Professional Sales

Key
Account Sales Executives, Key Account Coordinators and Operations Staff
