Best Growth Year in Company History Brings Changes to Riton Optics
Riton Optics has grown exponentially in 2018, and is looking forward to continuing that growth into 2019 and beyond. In order to focus their sales approach at the dealer level and to better serve a vastly expanded dealer base, Riton has partnered with four Manufacturer’s Representation Groups across the country.
Transitioning from an in-house sales team to these vetted groups enables Riton to put more ‘boots on the ground’, providing dealers with more accessibility to the Riton product line and ensuring consistency in their sales, corporate culture and company message.

“We love watching people pick up our optics with an instant awe of the clarity and quality. When we tell them the price their faces usually light up with amazement. Our biggest task is getting the optics in front of people across the country so they can experience just that. With the addition of these rep groups, there will be much more accessibility to the line,” said Founder and CEO, Brady Speth.

In starting this endeavor, the Riton management team invested a great deal of time with extended reviews of each of the groups and their individual representatives in each area.
According to Riton’s Director of Sales, Todd Neice, “Beyond reviewing each of the potential rep groups for historical successes and relationships, it was very important to us to review their people and their company philosophies. At Riton, we are about people and service in everything we do and we wanted rep groups that would emulate those philosophies.”
Each of the four groups that will be representing Riton across the country were selected in accordance of those items and the Riton corporate team has set practices in place to ensure that they will closely connected with each representative group’s leadership as well as each representative that is servicing dealer accounts.
