gaining a significant portion of the market share, by providing superior
customer service, competitive payroll processing fees, and state of the art
software access to payroll history. Our efficient and cost effective

loyal customer base. Our rapid development in the payroll industry,

DSI / ICD Hearst Inc.
Sept 1993 till Oct 1998
District Sales Manager: $35,000 + company car and expense account
DSI and ICD are two independent magazine publishing companies. They joined
forces to offer me a first time, joint marketing territorial position,
providing sales, marketing and distribution efforts for both companies.
They initiated and secured the position based on my prior success with
Warner Communications. Both companies had no local representation in the
state of Hawaii until the joint position was established. It would not be
cost effective for either company to develop their own individual
representative for Hawaii, therefore, they created the position for me.
Knowing the DSI and ICD management over the years resulted in this unique
collaboration. It was a success, and soon created more positions in
various states throughout the US.
