Two Texas Companies Join Forces for SHOT Show 2019

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2019/01/15) – Two Texas giants, AirForce AirGuns of Burleson and Sellmark Corporation of Mansfield, are proud to announce a partnership for SHOT Show 2019, which includes packages for dealers with exclusive pricing. AirForce AirGuns will partner with Sellmark brands Sightmark and Pulsar to offer three specially-tailored, dealer exclusive packages for SHOT Show only.

Tactical Hunter Package

Ideal for the daytime hunter and target shooter, this tactical package pairs the Texan .45 from AirForce with Sightmark’s popular R-Spec reflex sight, a T-3 3x Magnifier and Picatinny rail adapter.

Airguns are becoming increasingly popular as hunting tools, opening the possibility of using them during night hunts, which is why AirForce will also offer two night hunting packages.

Hog Hunter Package    

Hog hunting is practically a Texas pastime and when you pair AirForce’s powerful Texan .45 with a Pulsar Core RXQ30V thermal riflescope, you have quite a bacon-making combo.

Coyote Hunter Package

Serious predator hunters require precision and that’s exactly what you’ll get with this pair, combining AirForce’s integrally-suppressed Condor SS and Sightmark’s long-range Photon RT 6×50 with 30mm rings. No NFA stamp required!

For more information on these packages, please visit the AirForce AirGuns booth at SHOT Show #16127 or Sellmark’s booth (Sightmark and Pulsar) #11924.

Sellmark Grows Industry Footprint With Management Promotions

(MANSFIELD, TEXAS 2018/04/02) – With 2017 marking a banner year for Sellmark Corporation’s record-breaking growth, exciting and strategic management team promotions have recently been announced. Jeff Murray was promoted to Executive Vice President of Sales and Carl Stout was promoted to Territory Team Senior Sales Manager. Jeff and Carl have been loyal, long-term employees of Sellmark Corporation and in their new roles are expected to streamline servicing of Sellmark’s increased market share. Their leadership, sales experience and support are sure to further strengthen Sellmark’s presence throughout the US, Europe and beyond.

Jeff Murray began his career with Sellmark in 2006 as an intern and soon after assumed the role of Sales Representative. Jeff set the bar early as a leading producer and was promoted to National Sales Manager, followed by Director of Sales. For the past several years, Jeff has served as the VP of sales. His promotion to Executive VP of Sales is representative of his work ethic, professionalism, integrity and top-level production throughout his Sellmark career. In his new role, Jeff oversees all revenue generating teams, including the Territory Sales Team, Digital Sales Team, Field Sales Team and LE Sales Team.  He is also responsible for growing Sellmark’s brands by coordinating with marketing to ensure the communication plan supports sales while managing strategies designed to maximize account potential with optimized territorial coverage, channels and markets.

Carl Stout joined Sellmark early in 2011 as a Sales Representative. By May of the following year, his success, leadership and attention to detail led him to a new role as the ISO Management Representative. In May 2013, Carl assumed the position of National Accounts Manager. His productivity led to additional responsibilities as the Sales Manager for Sellmark’s outdoor retailer division and, in October 2016, Territory Sales Team manager. His promotion to Senior Sales Manager is the result of consistently growing production, selfless leadership and always-reliable, integrity-driven work ethic. In his new role as Sellmark’s Senior Sales Manager, Carl’s scope of responsibilities includes management of the Territory Sales Department, including field sales and the Territory Sales Support Team.

While Jeff’s and Carl’s positions are new, Sellmark’s management team strategy is not. With experienced growth in 2017, Sellmark had already planned to add over 20% to its global workforce to further expand into international markets. In addition to the management promotions of Jeff and Carl, Sellmark continues to seek strategic partnerships and looks to acquire brands and technology to further grow business and better serve consumers.
