- SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND & SKILLS
My life`s career path has been sales & sales management. My sales experience began at a young age of 16 selling Fuller Brush Products to housewives to currently B to B Advertising / Training & Mangagement. By age 18
I was training and managing a crew selling Kirby Vacuum Cleaners door to door. I have owned and operated several companies during my career. For a short few years I moved into a more technical field, of the HVAC industry (Sales - Service & Installation). Six years found me traveling, putting up the Big Tops (Circus Tents) & selling semi-loads of tropical plants under the big top. I have had an uninterrupted career of sales, only the product lines have changed. The people skills necessary to make each successful have remained the same. (Experienced, Disciplined, motivated, and a genuine love of dealing with people)
