sales, Business Development, and Customer Success
"Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals." -Jim Rohn
What’s my WHY: I get energized driving the process (combination of art & science) of new client acquisitions and building predictable revenue!
Inspire collaboration & sharing with current and prospective clients – through past experiences, lessons learned and thought leadership – to drive sales excellence, boost new client acquisitions, increase market share, and attain repeatable & predictable revenue growth.
About me:
I'm just a regular guy who grew up in Tampa, FL. (by way of New Jersey). Later, settled in Atlanta (Alpharetta area), got married, and have 3 beautiful daughters – and now – a beautiful granddaughter.
And YES - I did graduate from Florida State University - Go NOLES!!!
My family is first and foremost. That's my world! Coffee is my morning passion. Without it - can the day really begin? I will watch "anything" Sci-Fi or Murder-Mystery. I listen to the music loud while in my car. I enjoy creating DIY projects around the house (that one drives my wife a little crazy). I love to cook dinner for the family. Occasionally, I may even get in a round of golf or play a game of softball. I think technology is pretty cool! I get a kick out of seeing how innovative & emerging tech companies continue to one-up each other to become better.
What I believe to be important:
– Anything/anyone can improve and grow; Nothing should stay at the Status Quo.
– If you are going to DO something, have a plan and see it through all the way.
– Being part of an innovative/collaborative organization that supports a culture of being your own person.
– Being allowed to offer thoughts and ideas openly to help drive the success of customers and the business.
– Being part of an organization where there is a sense of family, empowerment, and encouragement to be the best that you can be.
– Trust and credibility have to be earned.
– My word is my bond (period!).
– I am loyal to the end unless you go back on your word. Once that happens, our relationship is most likely over.
– I am a firm believer in FATE and KARMA – meaning, do all the right things (in the right way), do them consistently, and never rely on others to do what you can do/should do yourself, if you have an expected outcome. If not – you don't have a formula for success.
