Living in the Great State of Texas
I am a senior sales and business development
professional with over 45 years of experience in technical sales, business
development, and sales territory management. Working directly with customers or
other salespeople accomplishing goals. I am skilled in sales team training,
management, development, and sales growth. I have sold to OEM / End Users and
through Distribution / Reseller channels in a variety of industries.
Experienced in business development, outside sales, and
sales territory management. Visiting manufactures, engineering, maintenance,
planners, and purchasing contacts engaging in technical sales all supporting
business to business opportunities. Collaborating with suppliers of products I
have consistently achieved sales growth.
Products I have experience with are electronic components,
connectors, wire and cable, PCB’s, contract assembly, automation equipment, and
automation controls. Matching products to customer requirements has been a
passion of mine. Being able to see products or systems installed, working, and
used in business or by consumers is awesome.
