John S. Michaelides Email & Phone Number

Spending 14 years with Stryker Communications, I developed a track record of exceptional sales success, delivered YOY growth without fail, achieved no less than 108% of quota (up to 136%), and earned the highest honors and awards. Hired in 2006, I immediately grew the territory by 352% in my rookie year, ranked #3 in the company for growth, and earned the Team Award for contributions to overall growth.★ ★ ★Continuing that record of success, each year thereafter I produced strong results with double-digit YOY growth, over-quota production, and continued honors and awards including Stryker Communications’ top accolades of the Lee Stryker, Si Johnson, and Rolex Awards. In addition, based on my achievements, I was selected as a regional field trainer and tasked with sharing best practices across the sales organization. In addition, as a top financing rep, I was asked to join the Stryker Flex Finance Executive Council and inform the development of financing programs based on my understanding of customers’ needs.★ ★ ★My contributions beyond revenue production continued as I was named a “Gladiator Rep” and repeatedly tasked with turning around underperforming territories. In addition, I was selected to serve as Interim Regional Manager for an entire year, led a team of 10, provided targeted coaching and mentorship, and supported the achievement of quotas and YOY growth. Enjoying the process of developing members of the team, I also thrived as a technical product expert contributing to the enhancement of existing solutions and development of new product offerings. As a product SME, I routinely collaborated with client-side technical stakeholders to build leading-edge integrated OR solutions, support facility deployment, and provide the post-sale service that cultivated client loyalty and account penetration.★ ★ ★In 2020, I was recruited to join a startup business—soon after acquired by Zimmer Biomet—and leveraged my OR product integration expertise to build and deploy intelligent solutions. Quickly called on to expand my role, I worked cross-functionally to support everything from sales to marketing, product development, vendor relations, and contract negotiation. ★ ★ ★With exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, I easily build productive relationships with diverse groups of customers. I’m consistently recognized for my tireless dedication, affability, hunter mentality, and solid business acumen. ★ ★ ★— StrengthsFinder Themes —Responsibility // Context // Achiever // Relator // Learner
