Selected Accomplishments
Turned around unproductive sales territory, generating several million
dollars in orders. Territory had been neglected by the senior sales staff
that was focusing on big orders from larger companies. Through research,
identified several smaller motor manufacturers in the area. Spent time with
potential new customers and built awareness of the product.
Sold $10M worth of equipment by taking advantage of competitor's delivery
problems. At the annual coil winding show, identified a customer who was
buying equipment from an Italian competitor with no interest in changing
suppliers. Capitalized on opportunity to win customer when the competitor's
equipment was significantly late. Offered superior technical 'lean'
solutions with competitive prices. Delivered product on time.
Led team that successfully installed new process and produced high volume
of motors. Assigned a $5M project of a current customer. Deliveries that
were promised were not met and half way through the project, the customer
requested their product be manufactured at a more efficient plant. Kept
customer informed on the progress of the move with weekly meetings. The
equipment was successfully installed at new location, producing and
delivering millions of motors on time.
Tripled sales by creating process to produce and sell refurbished equipment
at two-thirds the cost of new. Market was declining, new customer base
shrinking every month and new equipment sales were non-existent. Analyzed
the market need for rebuilt / refurbished machines. Led a team that
developed a mechanical and electrical refurbishment package and offered a
new machine warranty. Sales tripled and efforts forced two smaller
competitors out of business.
