Bryan Carlson is a Senior Director - Strategic Partnerships at Belkin. Colleagues describe him as "Bryan originally was in a product management role focusing on bringing new products to market and in so doing he created comprehensive marketing collateral material, sales presentations and trained the outside sales force on the benefits, competitive landscape, technical features and unique selling proposition of our new products. Bryan further compiled and detailed an "on shelf" comparison which was used to further demonstrate our products fit on a retailers shelf. Often times we rolled out new products so fast that we did not have time to thoroughly train the sales force before a sales presentation so Bryan would come to the meeting and actually give most of the presentation ---- that was when we first learned of Bryan's natural sales ability. He did extremely well making presentations to companies such as Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Staples and as a result of his sales ability we won business and we found a new salesman with a strong background in product marketing. That's a great combination in the CE industry. sdp", "Bryan and I worked together at Imation Corp. His role was to develop and launch new products for account placement. He always exceeded my expectations with the products he developed and the time to market. His ability to truly listen to customer needs, instincts on where the market was headed and his creativeness allowed all of us to succeed. In my opinion, he is the standard by which marketing managers should be measured. He will prove to be an asset to any organization.", and "Bryan is an energetic, bright, hard-working individual. He has acquired a vast array of skills in a short amount of time. He performed exceptionally well as a product manager, tansitioned effectively to a channel marketing role, and has the temperment and personality to be an effective sales person. I never hesitated to put Bryan in front of an account, and counted on him many times to be the product expert in meetings. Bryan is always someone I can count on to get the job done, with minimal supervision or direction. He knows how to solve problems on his own, while still working efficiently in a team environment."
