Letting of Recommendation

To Whom It May Concern,

I am pleased to recommend Clay Tollett, who has worked with me since January 2025.
From the start, Clay has proven to be an exceptional hire—someone who brings not
only results, but also energy and humor that lift the entire team.
Clay is a rare combination of a self-starter and a team player. He is highly self-
motivated, strategic in his approach, and able to thrive independently, yet he is equally
valuable when collaborating with colleagues. His natural ability to balance “lone wolf”
drive with team-oriented spirit has made him a standout performer. Just as importantly,
Clay has a natural ability to quickly earn the trust and confidence of his customers. By
listening carefully, following through on commitments, and consistently delivering value,
he has built strong relationships that drive both short-term wins and long-term loyalty.
His results speak for themselves. In just five months, Clay generated $2,677 in revenue,
and in Q3 alone he achieved 112% of plan—an impressive accomplishment that reflects
both his work ethic and business acumen.
Beyond the numbers, Clay has been a joy to work with. His sense of humor, reliability,
and dedication have made him a trusted member of our organization and someone I
would gladly hire again without hesitation.
I strongly recommend Clay Tollett for any future opportunities. He will be an asset to any
team fortunate enough to have him.

Sincerely,

Chelsea Bates
