I’m sure after you have had the opportunity to review my resume it will be quite apparent that I know how to build long-term relationships; both internal and external. I have always gone far beyond the standard sales process and I believe that is exactly why I have been and always will be successful in my professional sales and/or coatings inspection career.

My customers know that I will come through on all my obligations, address problems (I prefer to call them opportunities) in a timely manner and will take a genuine interest in their business. Anyone can make a sale but; only a true and dedicated Professional can earn the trust and respect of those he serves and throughout my career I have prided myself on providing superior customer service.

In my present position, I cover a four-state area consisting of South/North Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa.
I take great pride in saying I have taken my present territory from approx. 250,000k to over $2mil in just five years. As you can imagine; that comes with a total dedication to hard/smart work and a deep concern for my reputation as well as; my employers.

I am very excited about this opportunity and look forward to visiting with the hiring authority very soon.
