I have had over 30 years of in-home direct sales. I have sold insurance and finance, commodities, swimming pools, home improvements, Brick Face and Stucco, residential water treatment systems, permanent house paint and prefab sunrooms. My success in direct sales is founded in an understanding of how a “one call close” is earned and accomplished and by utilizing a consistent methodology, which at its foundation, leaves no part of the sales process to chance. Armed with a profound appreciation for the true value of a lead and appointment my sit/close ratio is minimally 65%.

I am seeking a competitive open-ended compensation plan, qualified appointments and an opportunity to utilize three decades of experience as a top closer and sales leader. Most recent-1990
