What they say matters

Ded Cool

Headkount has been instrumental in our success at Sephora. Our productivity doubled in just three months, which was a direct result of their teams’ strategic approach to helping identify very clear sales goals, coupled with guiding our team on where to focus and get the most out of field support. We are so grateful for Headkount’s guidance, coaching, as well as scaling with us as we navigate the world of retail.

Kosas

The Headkount Team is amazing, at every level! We were up and running at full throttle within weeks. The quality of service they provide to my partners and end-user clients is exemplary. The entire team is invested in our growth and success. Increased productivity, along with positive comments from retail partners about the ‘Kosas reps’ are testimony that Headkount, quite simply, delivers results.

The Outset

The Headkount team has been incredible in servicing The Outset in the field. We have had unmatched results as well as positive feedback from retail partners! The numbers speak for themselves as we consistently over-deliver in the Headkount supported doors. We are so fortunate to have them as partners and would recommend to any brand starting out!!

About The Founder

Paula Floyd

After an extensive career, many industry executives would have maintained a comfortable in-office job and simply continued to climb the ladder until retirement, but Paula’s favorite part of working in beauty was always in the field being hands-on with her sales team and customers, whether at her first counter job or her last senior-level appointment. Though there’s been a current emphasis on growth in the DTC channel for most brands, Paula saw the desire from consumers to still experience a brand in person and the need to elevate the brick-and-mortar relationships that brands have with their retail partners. One hundred percent of the top 20 prestige beauty brands invest in a field sales team. Yet with the recent influx of indie brands, how can startups, even those that are on a hot streak and poised for greatness, afford the massive overhead associated with that oh-so-necessary team? Armed with her vast knowledge of the beauty industry, Paula realized she had the formula that would benefit so many companies. She put her passion for beauty and her love and respect for people to work and launched Headkount.
