Meyers21229 Caledonia AveHazel Park, MI 48030Office Phone (734) 720-1770Cell (248) 298-9790Email [email protected] whom it may concern;I would like to introduce myself and tell you of my background. I have developed sales and sales management skills over many years and I would enjoy sharing, as I am a strong team player. I would like to be working with a leader in the industry. I have a vast background in computers and software, my sales approach is the technical sales aspect of the sale which is why I keep my certifications with Microsoft, Citrix, Cisco and Nortel current. While with Connections Unlimited, Tech Data was my largest supplier, I was part of their technology panel to plan channel needs and was a liaison between Tech Data and the channel partners. Tech Data was our major supplier while with both Connections Unlimited and CDR Enterprises. I was also a panel member of the Unisys council to develop channel partners. I owned my own business from 1986 through 1999 and my company did network integration as well as high speed communications and software development. In 1999 I worked with colleagues to take a company public in the communication and data warehousing industry I have a solid background in sales and the management skills necessary to help develop a company as a leader in its field. My background built solid selling techniques as well as a strong sense of maintaining and building business with the established dealer network. With my own company I built a business that did $8 million in volume and maintained a strong customer base. I also developed strong hunting and prospecting skills to bring new business to the table. I have solid selling techniques and I have held certifications with Microsoft, Citrix certified engineer as well as sales certification with Cisco and Nortel. I look forward to meeting you for a personal interview. Best regardsRich Meyers Show less
