Training: Developed a new training concept aimed at breaking the 80/20 rule. Results have been phenomenal. Initial launch targeted a large (200+ salespeople) telecom sales organization; results were 400% growth in 12 months, turnover ratio of 60% dropped to 17% during the same 12 month period.
Marketing: Created campaigns for telecom products long since forgotten (voice) and increased sales over 200% in the following month. Campaign did not just target customers with a promotion, I focused on the entire reach of the product from the network and improvements needed to support our planned growth to the shift required in the salesforce' approach to voice, to compensation, partners (3rd party resellers), promotions, and customer service. Overall, this campaign received the highest accolades from the top executives at the company.
