As needed would present technical training presentations to customers to strengthen their product knowledge and uncover new sales opportunities. 

I was also tasked to support the Regional Sales Manager, as needed, for special projects.

Special projects included overhauling existing sales presentation package (PowerPoint). Awarded Employee of the year 2006 and Outstanding Achievement 2007.

Sr. Technical Sales Representative

Asked to give a training but don't know where to start? ⚙️ Want your training to work? ⚙️ New to training or want to break in? ⚙️ Leaders, do you want happier, more innovative, more aligned people in your orgs? ?

Leaders lay awake at night worrying about revenue, profit, productivity, net promoter score, developing leaders and talent retention. 

How they can carve out a competitive advantage and drive top line performance. 

Aligning learning strategies with big picture vision builds the foundations so the organization can thrive. 

But especially in small to medium sized firms, late stage startups or larger autonomous teams training is a hassle due to workload. So it gets pushed off. 

Sometimes leaders just don't know where to start. 

Or worse yet, the training you do offer is dull, boring and people just don't want it.  

Powerful in-house training, supporting the overarching company goals, is not out of your reach. 

I support leaders to

✅ Align learning strategies with overall vision
✅ Build their own internal training capabilities 

I also support trainers themselves, especially those newer to corporate training or experienced trainers that need a second opinion or outside perspective. 

Built on experience and how people actually learn. I combine training experience with 25 years of sales, sales management and HR success to see the whole picture. 

You want more results and less yawns?
