The Company had 357 sales employees at May 31, 2020, an increase of 17 or 5% from the prior year quarter. The Company's sales force is divided into sales focus teams (SFT's). The Company had 98 SFT's as of May 31, 2020, the same amount of SFT's from the prior year quarter. Management anticipates continued growth in both our headcount and SFT's in fiscal year 2020. Despite the 5% decrease in net sales as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company believes it continues to gain market share through its local presence business model, increasing bookings by 5% and increasing the sales backlog to $72 Million, an increase of 16% when comparing to the prior year quarter.
