I was responsible for the independent sales of Leeman Labs instruments and accessories including ICP spectroscopy instruments (>$100,000 systems), Mercury analyzers, direct metal analyzers, related software and services in the southeast territory. I developed personal and Internet based tools for improving the efficiency of territory coverage for the entire sales team. I organized and presented sales seminars, meetings and materials to represent Leeman Labs at trade shows, conferences and hosted user group meetings. Post-sale customer support via telephone and e-mail was also required to maintain high customer satisfaction. I was responsible for instrument demonstrations at customer sites, trade shows and accompanied customers wishing to visit the applications lab. Leeman ICPs are used extensively for wear metals analysis for industrial engines and drive trains. As a result of my expertise in the area, I was called on to consult in the set-up of a wear metals laboratory.

I was the first commission based sales rep for the North East territory for Milestone. Duties involve all aspects of demonstrating and selling Milestone products primarily microwave systems for sample preparation, organic extraction, chemical synthesis and accessories. Other products include instruments for Mercury detection, ultra-trace cleaning and reagent production for the semi-conductor and life science industry. My task was to develop and organize the territory, customer contact, lead generation and sales forecasting. I traveled extensively to demonstrate Milestone instruments at customer sites, develop analytical methods on-site and host larger demonstrations at seminars for sales and lead generation. I represented Milestone at scientific conventions and trade shows such as Pittcon, Winter Conference, FACSS and ACS shows. My role as an analytical chemist was employed for instrument demonstrations, application development, installation, training and on-site repair.
