Below is a recommendation that was written by the former owner of the company:I am pleased to be writing this letter of recommendation for Jeff VanMeter. Although I did not hire him directly, not much time passed before I noticed him. Jeff was always pleasant and hardworking which I found refreshing. Jeff was promoted three times over a period of 12 years. In each of these promotions I knew the right choice was made in selecting Jeff. In his role in Estimating he showed his ability to be personable and accurate. In his new role as lead Project Manager he consistently showed and made use of his intellect, diligence and creativity. In addition to his role in project manager he also assisted in engineering and design as well. In his role as the National Sales Manager he demonstrated his ability to oversee employees that can be difficult due to proximity and other factors related to sales.One of my favorite traits of Jeff is his natural ability to generate logical and original ideas. On several occasions I found myself with a smile listening to him share his thoughts and plans in a meeting. Jeff is both a methodical and a quick thinker which those two traits working together sets him apart.Since Jeff energetically took on every difficult task or promotion, I am confident that he will perform just as admirably and effective as he did with me at any new position that is given him. His abilities are what makes this a very easy letter of recommendation to write for Jeff VanMeter.Sincerely,David Gann.If I can assist further please email me gannfamilyllc@gmail.com⁃ Trained, motivated and managed a national sales force of seven factory and four independent sales territory managers.⁃ Designed and implemented estimating and sales processes and improvements to increase average quarterly sales from $2.5M to $4M.⁃ Increased closing ratio by 50% in less than one year⁃ Designed and implemented process to integrate CRM functionality with revenue forecasting
