Employee Solutions, Inc. Unveils Improved Sales Organization


(PHOENIX) December 11, 1997 -- Employee Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:ESOL) today announced a new consolidated, centralized sales management structure, with a new leadership team at its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. Mark J. Gambill, current head of ESI marketing operations, has been promoted to Senior Vice President-- Sales and Marketing. ESI also has recruited Sam Williams to the newly-created post of Director of PEO Sales, which will report to Mark Gambill.

    "Mark Gambill brings extensive sales leadership to ESI," commented Marvin D. Brody, ESI's chairman and CEO. "His experience in sales and marketing at Paychex, and his years in PEO sales provide him with the background necessary to lead ESI's new sales initiative."

    "Given ESI's outstanding national platform and the rapidly growing PEO marketplace, I'm very excited about leading ESI's national sales organization," said Gambill.

    The addition of Sam Williams, with years of experience in franchise and PEO sales management, brings another important dimension to ESI. Williams will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the sales force, as well as recruiting additional salespersons to meet geographic and overall sales growth targets. To maximize sales production, Williams will also work with ESI's new sales training and administrative personnel.

    Mr. Williams previously held senior executive posts in sales, operations, and finance for several franchise organizations, including Alphagraphics and Gymboree. Most recently, Williams was a senior manager at Intuit with responsibility for development of targeted sales and marketing plans.

    "A strong internal sales function is a critical ingredient in Employee Solutions' long term growth plans," Mr. Brody continued. "Consolidating our sales management organization in Phoenix enhances management of our SG&A costs through centralization of critical corporate functions. It's the next logical step in building on the successes we've had with our Atlanta-basedsales administration organization."

    To make further improvements to the sales organization, ESI also has hired key sales training and administrative personnel at its Phoenixheadquarters, part of an ongoing process to create additional reporting efficiencies with its nationwide sales force. ESI was recently named theseventh-fastest growing company in America by Fortune magazine, and changes
in the sales organization are seen as a way to capitalize on this rapid growth.

    Though Employee Solutions' sales management functions are being consolidated in Phoenix, a major sales presence will remain in Atlanta. Ed Cain, who was primarily responsible for building the Company's current sales base, will continue to lead targeted sales activities in the Southeast. Mr. Cain's responsibilities will include active assistance in
the development and introduction of new products to be targeted to employees of ESI's clients.

    Employee Solutions, Inc., is a leading PEO providing employers throughout the United States with comprehensive employee payroll, human resources and benefits outsourcing services. The Company's integrated outsourcing services include payroll processing and reporting, human resource administration, employment regulatory compliance management, risk services/workers' compensation insurance services, retirement and health care programs and non-employment- related products and services provided directly to worksite employees.
