CAREER SUMMARY/HIGHLIGHTS.

A high level sales and marketing executive with a long period in the field of management, sales and marketing in a number of fields, companies, countries (both locally and internationally). I developed marketing strategies to compete with other individuals or companies who sell similar commodities. Within this particular field, marketed and distributed a number of products ranging from books and all kinds of literature as well as all types of insurance. Initiate market research studies and analyze their findings. Use sales forecasting and strategic planning to ensure the sale and profitability of products, lines, or services, analyzing business developments and monitoring market trends. Evaluate the financial aspects of product development, such as budgets, expenditures, research and development appropriations, and return-on-investment and profit-loss projections. I developed price strategies through balancing firm objectives and customer satisfaction. In some instances I conferred with legal staff to solve problems, such as copyright infringement and royalty sharing with outside producers and distributors. In all these mentioned fields I have favorably excelled beyond normal standards. It is my conviction that I can ably manage any field so long as it deals with management, marketing and sales.
