Executive Summary
Work Experience
Professional Profile
My experience has essentially been
outside sales selling business to business
for the past 25 years. I have developed
relationships from the executive level
through marketing & graphics as well as at
the manufacturing level.
Over the years, companies needs have
changed and expanded into many areas
involving various technologies. I have sold
enterprise level technology solutions and
have a very strong understanding of the
needs of today’s businesses.
I am a relationship salesman, meaning
once I am in an account, I am able to reach
far and wide to provide solutions to all
areas of the company. Much of my success
has come from people within the account
recommending me to help provide solutions
to their co-worker’s issues. I have strong
communication skills and have the ability to
speak with anyone. My best skill is my ability
to listen and understand what the customer
is asking for, allowing me to provide the
solution they need.
