Brad Trnavsky, MBA’s Summary

I am a forward thinking problem solver that is interested in helping business owners to grow their business. I have experience in sales, marketing and event promotion and have an ability to get a lot done with a very small budget.

I am also a bit of a computer geek and am interested in implementing new technologies to strengthen relationships with current clients and develop new ones. My current project is a Social Network / web based community for sales professionals called Sales Management 2.0
