Colleagues describe him as "Michael Blanch is the most skilled salesperson I have ever encountered. He leads by example as a true leader does. Over the last 20 years even when working with other companies I have reached out for counsel. With that it mind he has always looked out for my best interest. Wether choosing a new industry to sell in or just to bounce ideas to get an educated opinion he’s always been there. Michael Blanch is the true definition of sincerity and integrity. Thank you Michael for all the years you’ve been a true friend, colleague and leader! " and ""Don't pick a job. Pick a Boss. Your first boss is the biggest factor in your career success. A boss who doesn't trust you won't give you opportunities to grow." -William Raduches When I read this quote, I immediately thought of Michael Blanch. Michael wasn't my first boss, but I consider him my BEST boss. I reported to Michael for about 3 years as a Field Support Specialist for his team. I saw him push our team to success, not by calling the shots, but by helping, coaching, and motivating each person individually to reach their full potential, including myself. I saw him hire and mentor multiple President's Club rookies including the FY16 Rookie of the Year and has promoted reps into other roles such as Regional Market 401k Representative. While I was on his team, our team hit goals that earned us awards and trips. His leadership doesn't stop at sales development, but extends to personal development as well. He encourages everyone on his team to be a leader themselves, and to lead with honor and integrity. He creates an accountable work environment where you can hit your financial goals while maintaining a great work life balance. With that, I whole-heartedly recommend Michael Blanch as your next manager. "
