(Port St. Lucie, FL) – Reacting to challenges facing the loyalty industry, TopGrading Solutions Vice President and Executive Recruiter, Larry Lebofsky is using his tenure in the payments industry to help loyalty & incentive companies seize new opportunities in increasingly complex, recession-shocked markets. He is matching candidates with companies to help both the companies and the industry itself with new initiatives. Lebofsky’s expertise in the payments technology and retail technology industries and track record with executive placements were recognized in his recent promotion to Vice President of TopGrading Solutions.  TopGrading Solutions is an MRINetwork® affiliate, one of the world’s largest search and recruitment organizations. 

Lebofsky has made loyalty & incentives a major focus in the past year.  “Competition for the best candidates in the loyalty & incentives industry is very intense, as companies accept that customer retention costs significantly less than acquiring new customers. We believe in bringing real contributors to our clients to move the needle in this industry, and are playing a key part in the ongoing success and growth of the industry,” said Lebofsky, who has recognized that the payments industry is expanding into new territories, such as loyalty and wireless, at a breakneck pace. He plans on attending the upcoming Loyalty Expo in Hollywood, Florida on June 1.
 
Lebofsky is a strong believer in building a network among Impact Players in the industry to bring the best candidates to clients. He has worked with several companies in the past few months to propel their plans forward, or to shape entirely new offerings. Lebofsky’s team recently completed a senior-level search for a marquee name in the loyalty and rewards space. “With the shake-ups in the Tier 1 banking sector, consumers are asking themselves what financial institution they can entrust with their life savings, their homes, their futures,” Lebofsky said. “Our client recognized the need for building subject matter expertise in the financial sector, and we are happy to say they now have the talent to exploit these opportunities that far exceeds their competitor’s.”

Lebofsky has built long-term partnerships with many of his clients. He credits these successful partnerships to his ability to take a long-term view. “I’ve been working for close to 2 years with a company whose industry had shrunk and become extremely commoditized,” he said. “They wanted to move into a new direction combining, loyalty, performance incentives, and prepaid card rewards. The CEO and I worked together to build a dream team of executives, sales staff and contributors and this client is now seeing successes in previously untapped markets.”

Lebofsky credits his success to a team that strives to identify and establish rapport with every recognized leader in their industry, placing emphasis not only on building successful clients, but ensuring that career objectives are met within every placement he facilitates. “If the client is successful but the employee’s objectives are not fulfilled, it is not even a partial win. I’m looking for people who want to make a difference and clients who pay back such motivation with career opportunity.”
