Kirk possesses the qualities and maturity that will assure success in whatever endeavor he takes part. Kirk was a responsible and dedicated employee who led by example. Kirk’s work ethic is to be commended. I’d always been able to rely on his dedication to conduct the job at hand with very little follow up being needed. Kirk was a self starter and adapts to change quickly. Kirk had the ability to quickly build lasting relationships with his accounts and with the liaisons for the various clients he had represented. Kirk had worked on two separate programs for me and I had received several compliments via email and voicemail from field sales representatives and regional managers on Kirk’s exemplary service in their territories. It had been relayed to me from the field sales force that Kirk was instrumental in increasing market share in their territories by making accessible their most difficult to see accounts. Kirk’s dedication and tenacity, tempered with professionalism, won many of these difficult to see accounts over to our brand of products. Kirk moved up quickly on my program due to his thorough understanding of the products we represented for our client and his abilities to coach other associates on the program to further their knowledge of sales and products. Kirk voluntarily took on the extra workload of reporting program metric’s to our client liaison. His reports were very thorough and always on time. I was privileged to award Kirk with many program specific awards relating to attaining goals and converting new business to our represented brand. Kirk was a dedicated employee who builds a team atmosphere. Kirk built a rapport with everyone that he came in contact with throughout our organization. He conducted himself very professionally at all times, which is why I promoted Kirk from a Sales Associate to a Senior Sales Associate within his first year of employment on my program. Kirk took on the additional responsibilities of Senior Sales Associate with ease. His additional responsibilities included mentoring; training new hires on products and computer applications; monitoring sales associates telephone calls with customers and offering constructive suggestions on sales technique improvements; handling escalated phone calls; assisting in weekly/monthly reporting to the client and filling in as the acting program manager during vacations. I have always considered Kirk to be one of the most reliable employees that I had on staff. This reliability is critical in the fast pace environment in which he worked. Kirk would be a valuable asset to any organization in which he was employed. Thank you, Debbie Schulz-Peterson"
