Director of Sales & Technology

Waltz Business Solutions
Crestview hills, KY
01.2020 - Current
  • In my duel role of Director of Sales & Solutions, my main responsibility is to maintain and increase sales numbers companywide
  • This is accomplished by individual/group coaching & providing the team with the tools they need to accomplish their goals and in turn the organizations expectations
  • In the equipment sales division I executed the deployment of a modern integrated CRM platform that surpassed initial project expectations in functionally and achieved this well under the allocated budget
  • This allowed me to expand and improve several other areas of deficiency in marketing & outreach sequences
  • By incorporating the modern sales process to the Waltz sales team it has provided better forecasting and visibility into our process while drastically improve efficiency
  • As a bonus, this also provides data driven insights (KPI's) for both management and ownership
  • In the technology (solutions) management role my responsibilities also include vetting emerging technology for resale by the solutions sales team, improving our operational efficiency and help facilitate effective communication within our organization
  • In this role I worked closely with the executive team and department heads
  • This has provided valuable insight into all aspects of business operations and the areas of inefficiency that provide the greatest return on investment
  • With a background in graphic design and a wife that is a marketing manager I strongly believe that collaboration with the marketing team is essential and established weekly meetings
  • In most organizations these two departments often do not communicate well
  • Marketing doesn't know what sales needs & sales doesn't let marketing know the content potential new clients want
  • Through this collaboration I rolled out a new interactive quoting platform and helped establish brand continuity.
