Experience
Training Skills
I have developed my own training programs and can facilitate other training programs.  Workshops I have developed:  “The C.A.R.E. to Win Workshop” (personal and leadership development); “Effective Presentations for Managers and Executives” (public speaking);  “Professional Selling Workshop” (professional selling skills and attitudes); “Effective Presentations Workshop” (public speaking); “Pathway To Excellence” (customer service); “Professional Customer Service Workshop” (advanced customer service and attitudes); “The Performance Interview” (performance appraisal and interviews); “Time Management Workshop and Collections - The Modern State of the A.R.T.” (financial collections).  I was certified and taught all five of the Dale Carnegie Courses - Human Relations and Effective Speaking, Management Seminar, Sales, Customer Relations and Personnel Development.

Speaking Skills
Extensive speaking engagements ranging from civic clubs, sales meetings, banquets, conventions and nationally before several thousand people.  I have opened for people such as Zig Zigler and John Molloy.  I am a motivational speaker who can get the message across to an audience with ease.

Consulting Skills
I have worked with many companies to diagnose sales and management problems and then work with them to implement profitable solutions.  My consulting work was done on the basis that the most important resource a company could use is its human resources; therefore we worked with people solutions to improve the company bottom line.

Sales Skills
I have sold both tangibles and intangibles products and have always met or exceeded quotas.  I have designed sales territories and compensation plans and have been instrumental in several turn-around situations.  I am a consultative sales professional who solves problems and develops long lasting rapport with my clients.

Management Skills
I have hired, trained, motivated and led sales staffs to reach new heights and accomplished goals higher than expected.  I have strong administration skills and delegate effectively.  I can design or redesign compensation plans and territories to be more effective.  I have good communication skills and prefer a participative management style to get everyone on the team and the goals reached.
