Scott Skelly

I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I can work independently and also thrive in team environments. I manage by example, give clear consistent communication, and build rapport to get results through the efforts of others. I'm a visionary take-charge leader with unquestionable work ethic, not afraid to be hands on, show initiative and take risks when making decisions. I am strong at gathering information to present the company and its products in the best light, to meet the customer needs. I pride myself in understanding my company's objectives and keep these in mind when listening to customers as they describe their needs; in order to negotiate the best win-win outcome.
