Additional Information

I am 50 years old and am a highly competitive person and driven to build a company and would like to be rewarded for it fairly. I have a little over 30 years of experience in multiple aspects of business. The major portion by a long shot is in face to face selling. I feel that is my strength. I am extremely loyal maybe to a fault. I do not sell on price. I believe trust and relationships is the reason people purchase and feel I can build any territory through these attributes along with a good product and team to support me.
