Could your company benefit from a highly personable, sales and marketing profess

ional
that is service-oriented and profit-minded?

Wouldnt it be refreshing to have ambitious salesman whose character is straight-

forward but marked with a traditional sense of honesty, integrity and hard work?
How about an industrious self-starter with years of experience and entrepreneu
rship that can bring you more sales, improve customer relations or develop your
marketing materials?
My background includes years of front-line experience in selling and marketing e
verything from tangible products such as medical coding books, jewelry & fashion
accessories, etc - to the intangible, such as printing, advertising, home impro
vement services and more. In addition, I can provide employee training, write a
nd design marketing or advertising materials that can improve customer relations
.
As you can see, I have never limited my efforts to specific products or services
inside of one industry type and therefore I take great pride in being able to s
ell or market anything that has value to customers or a business. What drives m
e is the challenge and satisfaction of serving my clients and matching their nee
ds with compatible products or services.
Starting from the age of nine selling flower seed packets and newspapers door-to
-door to later running my own small companies in construction, printing and reta
il, I have used my attention to detail, Gift of Gab and creativity to satisfy my
competitive spirit and increase revenue for other companiesand now Id like to s
erve your company.
My strength lies in the areas of telemarketing, management, sales and marketing
and matters of lead generation, client retention, and customer service - all ess
ential in todays economy. If you could use someone such as myself in your compa
ny, give me a quick call now so we can set up an interview.

Perhaps you need some telemarketing to generate more leads or sales?
