ABOUT:With more than a dozen years of direct IT sales experience, I have built a successful career by providing solutions that meet the complex technical and business needs of organizations of all sizes and industries. My experience working on all sides of the equation – customer, channel, and manufacturer – has provided me the skillset and unique perspective that is shared by few in this industry.Despite the many changes in the IT industry through the years, my philosophy has been unwavering, “Plan your work, work your plan, do the right things consistently, and the results will come.” Aside from a successful track record as an individual contributor, I have also had the opportunity to lead, train, and mentor other sellers in a management capacity.This combination of experiences has allowed me to fulfill a personal credo: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”KEY COMPETENCIES:• Channel partner recruiting & development• Sales forecasting using Salesforce.com• Relationship building• Written & verbal presentation skills• Field marketing planning & event execution• Team building, management & coaching• Customer needs analysis & qualification• Product demonstrations & POCs• Proposal development, including TCO/ROI• Enterprise software (SaaS, on-prem)• Enterprise data storage (PaaS, on-prem) – SAN, NAS, Object, Software-Defined• Enterprise data protection & DR (cloud, on-prem), including ransomwareSKILLS:• Account Management• Adobe Creative Cloud• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud• Amazon Simple Storage Service• Application Training• B2B Sales• Backup and Restore• Big Data Storage• Block Storage• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery• Business Development• Business Writing• Channel Sales• Cloud• Cloud Storage• Coaching and Mentoring• Complex Sales• Consultative Sales• Curriculum Development• Data Protection• Data Security• Data Storage• Data Storage Management• Demonstration Skills• EMC Storage• Enterprise Architecture Planning• Enterprise Software• Field Marketing• Google Apps• Instructor Led Training• Lead Generation• Learning Management Systems• Needs Analysis• Negotiation• Network Attached Storage (NAS)• Object Storage• Platform As A Service (PAAS)• Presales• Presentation skills• Proof of Concept• Proposal Writing• Prospecting• SaaS Solutions• Sales Management• Sales Process• Sales Territory Management• Salesforce.com• Storage Area Network (SAN)• Teaching• Technical Pre-sales• Technical Sales• Virtualization• VMware
