A natural fit for leading the charge for field development at Ignite, Mr. Witt is someone who truly understands how to achieve success as an entrepreneur.
Before joining the Ignite team, Mr. Witt was a leading entrepreneur and franchisee with several organizations in the restaurant, telecommunications and energy industries.
Beginning in late 2001, Mr. Witt applied his entrepreneurial skills in the deregulated Texas energy market as a marketing director for Option Energy. He quickly distinguished himself through his abilities as a trainer and sales leader, and he was selected Option Energy’s first Corporate Trainer by the company’s president.
Prior to Option Energy, Mr. Witt was an independent marketing director with Excel Telecommunications for nearly a decade. Due to his prowess as a sales organization leader in Excel, Mr. Witt consistently ranked in the top ten percent of the company’s money earners and was appointed by the company’s founder to develop and lead Excel’s national field leadership team. In this role, Mr. Witt conceptualized and wrote field training manuals and videos, planned and coordinated quarterly training/team-building conferences with corporate staff, and trained in excess of 10,000 field representatives at corporate events, leadership conferences and weekly training meetings nationwide.
In the early ‘90s, Mr. Witt was one of the first franchisees of the ZuZu Handmade Mexican food chain. His accomplishments as a restaurateur and business owner led to his being elected the first Franchisee Association President by his fellow ZuZu franchisees.
