Michael Galli’s Summary
I have a tenured, strong and successful sales foundation. The majority of my experience has been in high-dollar, large ticket sales; as well as with technology consulting and management.
It is my goal to find a Company that I can apply my areas of experience and utilize them together in a way that will not only increase the clients approval and satisfaction, but myself as well in the process.
Moving forward now, I am aiming to transition out of the Automotive marketplace and back into my native upbringing, training and skill set. This includes small office / home office computer consulting with an emphasis on combining hardware sales, advanced troubleshooting and network management.
Michael Galli’s Specialties:
Certified on all Products related to my direct supervision, have been to numerous events for most major product launches as well as attended national sales training events. Expert sales and management experience, coupled with a high closing ratio and team driven success. I specialize in expanding existing markets and generating positive sales gains.
