  Collins Voice & Data

  Jan 1995 - Jan 2003

  Sales Engineer

  I wore many hats at this small company and helped it grow to be very successful by providing a complete turnkey solution for voice and data products to the end user.I purchased and sold all types of equipment and used my worldwide contacts to help lower the bottom line cost to my customers. I obtained and maintained very large accounts and always strived to meet every one of their needs, at any time and any type of equipment. During a project I would manage the job from the begining by designing a solution, going through the sales process, purchasing the equipment, scheduling the installation and training. Show less
