Sales Leader / Revenue Generator

SUMMARY

Over 24 years generating revenue for organizations, large and small, with full-time positions in Commercial Banking, IT/SaaS, LEAN Consulting, and Supply Chain/Logistics. I have developed an extensive C&V level network, as a result, and source 50% of my pipeline-opportunities from this base…the balance of which I aggressively HUNT for...expanding my contacts, still further.

As sales leader, I am excellent at building high-performing consultative sales teams and strategically implementing business-development approaches, sales-processes, and relevant KPI's to increase market-share. I utilize extensive, first-hand, multi-industry knowledge to facilitate internal sales-practice seminars e.g. prospecting skills, consultative sales techniques, account management principles, and strategy discussions. I do not simply “manage” my teams, but endeavor (daily) to lead them with an empowering, hands-on, leadership-style.
