Al Mayo
Vice President Residential Sales
Al Mayo has been with Smitty’s Building Supply for over 12 years, serving in a variety of roles, including counter sales and outside sales. Today, his knowledge and experience is the driving force behind his role as vice president of residential sales. In this capacity, Al’s philosophy is that effective sales representatives are usually well motivated already, so he sees his role as more of a ‘Smitty’s coach’ than anything else.
He is responsible for the day-to-day management of our outside sales reps, oversight of the Alexandria and Manassas counter sales reps, and setting prices on commodity products. Al is also responsible for developing sales procedures and works closely with the reps in advising how to handle specific customer issues, such as large quotes and complex custom projects – all for the ultimate benefit of ensuring Smitty’s customers have an outstanding service experience with the organization.
Prior to joining Smitty’s, Al was owner of Virginia Sundecks and was also sales manager for Burke Lumber.
