Primary Skills/Experience:
I believe you must have a thorough understanding of what you're selling. Once you have that foundation, then it's about connecting with the people who buy that product or service. I have been helping people buy what they need for a long time. I focus on listening to the customer, presenting the product I believe matches their requests and let them buy. If you help people they will feel it, and in return refer people. I enjoy building teams who believe, like I do - that the client is treated like gold. And this has always given me positive bottom line results. I'm a naturally positive, upbeat, rich thought person. I think big like you can't believe.
