Recruited, trained, and managed a sales team that most thought I must be half crazy to hire. Scarred by their past sales jobs, they had been disrespected and had commission structures changed to keep them from earning their due. They were tired of all the needless paperwork. What they wanted was to get back to basics of selling and make a great living if they surpassed their sales goals. I trained them, supported them, and let them sell, and they broke all regional and national sales records.• Developed new sales department and increased sales from 0 to $10.4mm annually in a six-year span.• Managed a territory that covered Houston, San Antonio, Austin, McAllen, Corpus Christi, San Marcos, and Beaumont.• Recruited, trained, and managed a high caliber sales team of up to 20 individuals that consistently met and exceeded its objectives.• First sales manager to surpass $1,000,000 in monthly sales. (That is a whole lot of black/white and color copies!)
