Upside:Learned from one of the Best; both the process & the "industry"Got to stay home after 8 years of travelingDownside:August 2008, helluva time, survived it all, Aug 2008 - March 2010 Proved I can survive ANYTHING in business

Alumni Development: What the heck is that ?Worked from home in Phx., working with Alumni Directors, Development Officers, University & College VPs & Presidents developing customized database updating and alumni directory programs. Visited every public and private university/college in CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, WY, UT, NV, AZ, and Vancouver-Victoria, B.C.. Fascinating & expanded everything in my world, sadly product was in final throes of declining practical utility.

From inside sales to National AccountsSpeciality/Technical PublishingPublishers like to buy each other, strip em' down, buy new stuff, then sell it again: Macmillan bought Que/SAMs, Simon & Schuster bought Macmillan, Pearson came in and bought 1/2 of S&S, all in a 5 year period. <50% margins to retailers, 100% returns on all unsold inventory, paying 3rd parties to shred/incinerate brand new books, cool business!!

Just out of college, hittin' the streets wearing out shoes and knocking on doors all day for biz, learning sales the old school way.
