.........................................................................................................................RECOMMENDATION:Indigo Books & Music Inc.I have known Elaine Mendelson for approximately 6 1/2 years during which time she represented several companies as a sales representative in the highly competitive and specialty packaging environment.After our first meeting in 2004, Elaine rapidly became accepted by our marketing and logistics teams as the “go-to expert” on all issues about these various fields and, on more occasions than I care to admit to, her guidance and counseling prevented us from making several costly mistakes. This was due, in part, to her ability to meet individually with several department representatives, and understand the individuals’ concerns and objectives whilst keeping it within the overall accepted scope. This was a crucial contribution to our teams’ success in not missing a single retail launch target.I’m pleased to say that in my personal opinion Elaine is the personification of the perfect sales representative and I have no reservations in saying that she will be as diligent in any business role her qualifications would make her a candidate for.Respectfully,A. Salisbury (retired)Director, Strategic Procurement for Indigo, Chapters, Coles, and The World’s Biggest Book Store
