Also, skilled in the art of selling. I use Sandler Selling/Erickson selling. A hybrid that has led me to the #1 spot in Revenue at each and every company that I have sold for. I’m extremely goal orientated along with being conscious of profitability. As a rule, I always go the extra mile to satisfy our customer needs. The customer is ALWAYS right.
