Eric Smith's Linkedin Analytics

Hey, there! (Personal Stuff) My name is Eric Smith from a small farm city in Northern Utah called Hooper (good luck on the pronunciation). I play the guitar (sorta). I like to exercise as if I were still in my 20's. My wife and I lovvve animals, especially cats (we currently have four. No shame!) I used to live in a mortuary - like, legit. And I kinda look like Johnny Bravo, I guess? (Professional Stuff) For over 10 years I have proven the ability to successfully launch, lead, and develop various teams and departments ranging from sales to business development and partnerships. All the while learning how to be led at the same time. Reflecting on my professional career is both gratifying and humbling as I recognize how my leadership abilities have led to quantifiable company growth. The ability to develop, organize, and execute new processes allowed me to launch successful sales teams and whole departments helping my company to achieve the honor of being a two-time Inc. 500 company, as well as being recognized as one of Utah’s fastest-growing companies multiple years in a row. Although these company growth achievements have been fulfilling, my passion and gratitude for what I do come from supporting and developing individual people. Creating positive employee outcomes and learning how to transform low performers who lack confidence into top producers is a skill of mine. My ability to lead and motivate others is a direct result of my personal drive to become an expert among experts while also learning how to do better the next time. Through criticism and the ability to admit when I’ve made a mistake I am able to make a meaningful change that makes me a better leader. Lastly, I have endless energy and passion! I also thrive on being able to create meaningful conversations with everyone I meet and bring value to each interaction. Words that describe me (in no particular order): - Fun - Happy - Loyal - Supportive - Caring - Innovative - Hardworking - Honest - Trustworthy - Curious - Protein
