  Ateo copier systems

  Jan 1988 - Jan 1999

  Sales manager/branch manager

  ATEO Copier Systems Inc. As General Manager (1995 to 1998) of this independent Panasonic Copier dealership I worked with the owner to build the dealership up to the point where he was able to sell the business to Panasonic for top dollar and retire. I then became Branch Manager for the new Panasonic branch. For 3 years in a row ATEO achieved the $1 million dollar achievement award from Panasonic. This placed us as one of Panasonic’s top 20 copy machine dealers in the country. As Sales Manager (1989 to 1995) for ATEO, I was able to build the sales team from 1 salesperson producing $20,000 a month in sales, to 8 salespeople, producing $250,000 a month. This was a huge achievement when you consider that when I joined the business it was on the verge of financial collapse. Even though we were undercapitalized, did not represent the most competitive product, and had many very aggressive competitors; I was able to make significant progress in moving the company forward. One of my key accomplishments was our sales and marketing program. This was a focused plan to tie in the efforts of the cold calls the sales people made with the sales database and customer database. This involved telemarketing, direct mail, yellow pages and special promotions. The end result was a very successful and cost efficient marketing program. Show less

  Williams title guaranty and escrow agency, ltd.

  May 2015 - May 2016

  Sales & marketing manager, licenced resident title producer, linkedin, meetup, & re expert!

  I love working with Real Estate Brokers and Mortgage Professionals! The great thing about being a Title Insurance Rep is I get to spend most of my day interacting and helping individuals who are involved in buying and selling real estate. I first started working in Real Estate in the 1980s as a RE Broker when interest rates were sky high and we had no cell phones or laptops! Some things have changed since then but the key to any successful business is still all about building relationships, helping people move forward, and being there to solve problems when they in evidently occur. At Williams I was heavily involved with providing the local real estate community with ongoing training with the technical aspects of Real Estate transactions, and Sales & Marketing efforts. I have a standing offer for any Real Estate professional that I will work with you on improving your sales and marketing efforts. I have vast knowledge and experience with all kinds of different sales and marketing programs. LinkedIn, Meet up, and other social marketing efforts have proven to be very cost effective marketing platforms. Show less
