Accomplishments
Canadian Sales Manager of the year a number of times since taking over my role with Current Employer.
Able to grow our customer base from approx 22 consistent customers to approx 157 ones that rely on us to help them be successful.
Grew up in a construction and trucking company that my family owned so that is where I got my start with heavy equipment.
I am very happy where I am at but because I am away 4 nights a week I am looking to do a little less traveling. A couple nights a week would even be better.
If you want someone who will help your sales staff build relationships as well as help them close more sales then for the 20 minutes it would take lets sit down and chat just to see if it would be a fit for either of us. I can always be reached on my cell.
