With a three-year revenue growth of 71%, Sterling ranked #4,562 on the list.<\/p>\n<p>The Inc. 5000 provides a unique look at the most successful companies within the economy\u2019s most dynamic segment: its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino\u2019s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many others first gained national exposure as honorees of the list. Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a handful have been featured more than once. A mere three and a half percent have made the list seven times.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Moore, President and CEO, attributes Sterling\u2019s growth to the execution of a targeted expansion initiative\u2014and to the day-to-day efforts of the staff. \u201cSeven appearances on the Inc. 5000 is a testament to a company-wide commitment to execute, every single day. We\u2019re thrilled by the recognition, but even more rewarding is being able to deliver genuine value to our customers. In our eyes, the two will always go hand-in-hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only have the companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the 2018 recipients achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 538.2 percent, and a median rate of 171.8 percent. The Inc. 5000\u2019s aggregate revenue was $206.1 billion in 2017, accounting for 664,095 jobs over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your company is on the Inc. 5000, it is an unparalleled recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice,\u201d says <em>Inc.<\/em> Editor in Chief James Ledbetter. \u201cThe lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What doesn\u2019t change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the forces that shape our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with featuring on the 2018 list, Sterling is now considered among the Inc. 5000 Hall of Fame, an honor that recognizes repeat honorees.
