Regional Sales Manager, BASF - Automotive Refinish

92673San ClementeCalifornia - United States

I am a results-driven Sales Leader best known for building focused sales teams; mentoring and training individual contributors and building key customer relationships while delivering bottom line results. My sales efforts have focused on capital equipment, software and consumables sold either direct or through dealer channels.

Demonstrating that I can produce and having been rapidly promoted by companies like BASF, Noritsu America Corporation and Eastman Kodak, I’d like to do even more for a growing organization. I am seeking a Sales Management opportunity utilizing my technology, solution sales and product/marketing management background.

If your company or clients have a need, I am confident that my unique combination of creativity, energy, resourcefulness and management skills will prove useful to your dynamic organization. Toward this end, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss the mutual benefits of my employment. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
