As such, his sincerity of purpose with his customers shines through, and the results speak for themselves - both in customer outcomes and business and revenue growth. His ability to navigate customer and organizational complexities works well both in start-up mode, let alone in larger enterprises. I always valued his consistency and methodology in building out his business, quarter by quarter, year by year. " and "Dave was my company's Account Executive while at Salesforce. During the year we worked together, he was an incredibly valuable resource as we purchased, implemented and expanded our Salesforce product. On a professional level, Dave was always prompt, courteous and provided outstanding anticipatory service. Dave would call me regularly to ask how everything was going and if there was any way he could be more helpful. He made cost-saving recommendations that I found to be very valuable and he always kept me up to speed on new features and additional functionality I could use to benefit my company. On a personal level, Dave urged me to learn more about Salesforce and first introduced me to the certification program, which I've been doing ever since! He's helped me become a better Administrator and provided me the tools to further build my career at Benefitfocus. I enjoyed working with Dave and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Rob"
