Summary
Seasoned Territory Manager and exceptional sales professional. Decisive team leader and business manager with excellent attention to detail and persuasive communication style. I'm offering nearly 10 years of experience in sales, with 8 of those years being in management. My ideal next job would be somewhere that I could call home for the next 25-30 years until I retire, with the ability to eventually move up and grow within the company, and become a full time finance trainer.
