My name is Michael Eide. I am a 43 year old husband/father/son/brother. While these things can be used to define a person, I feel like I add to the definition of who I am by what I give back to the world every day. I will be defined by the way I treat my wife and kids, by the way I am with my friends, family and colleagues.What makes me different from other people? Well I feel like I have the unique mixture of knowledge, personality, wit, and charisma that draws people to me. I hope to prove that a certain type of person, one that a decision maker will view as an acquaintance or a friend rather than someone trying to sell something to them, will help in the selling process more than what you are selling. I have been passionate about marketing and the creative side of marketing for some time now, in fact it became my position at work. In my role as Marketing Manager I have built relationships and skills that are crucial for me moving forward. My hope is to get into a new business venture where I will find myself in the reverse role I was in before, being the guy coming in to the business trying to sell them something I am passionate about and that I truly believe will help them make more money. I always say the reason that companies are making the shift in advertising to a more social media/online presence is because this generation of buyers is there, and the most important aspect of these types of media is relationship building. The old saying we all learn as young entrepreneurs is "friends buy from friends", and this saying applies in the online world every day.
