To whom it may concern:
I am a former business associate of Randy Sevde. I wish to offer my
opinion on his business acumen, his determination, and to tell you he is
the ultimate "self starter". As a salesman or as a manager, he will never
disappoint. He is always thinking of relationship building and providing
the best service possible. He requires little, if any guidance once he is
on task. He will find out the best way to serve both the employer and the
customer. I would be happy to offer any further information to a potential
employer of Randy Sevde. I will be an advocate to get him on board with
your company, and you will be impressed.
