Sales Management
MicroSolutions
(Partnership; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)
November 1985 — January 1991 (5 years 3 months)
Started in Tech and ended up in Sales Management. This was my first real job. I started by doing everything from pushing boxes out the door to installation and tech calls. Also got involved in operations, facilities management. Became a top sales producer, as the company grew, so was "rewarded" with management over a team of sales people. We rode the wave of the PC networking boom until Compuserve bought us out. As the company slid into the dismal hangover of a "merger" I went out on my own and co-founded; D-Animation, Silicon Reef, Worksoft and bought Hytec Data Systems from old boss.
