Kelley Altland joined Bell Laboratories in September as a Technical Sales Representative for the New England territory where she represents Bell products to distributors and pest management professionals (PMPs) in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and upstate New York.

Altland works with Bell distributors on the use and promotion of Bell’s rodent control products and advises them on developing new markets for products. She also assists them in setting up training programs for their sales staff and local technicians. An added support to distributors and pest control companies, Altland provides technical assistance on pest control strategies and solutions, especially for hard-to-control infestations.

As part of Bell’s sales team, she represents the company at distributor-organized events, as well as national trade shows and exhibitions.

Prior to joining Bell, Altland worked as a Technical Sales Representative for Southern States Cooperative where she managed and established a customer base in the New England region, selling animal feed products. Her accounts, which included customers such as farm store chains and Agway, relied upon her expertise to determine appropriate feeds and health products for a variety of animals.

Altland earned a B.S. Degree in Animal Science from Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Penn., in 2002. She started her career with Land O’Lakes Purina Feed.

Altland is based near Hartford, Conn.
