I founded Sales Integrity, Inc. in 2004 as a sales operations and management consulting firm to help clients profitably grow revenue. In January of 2008, Sales Integrity merged with Pariveda Solutions. As a Vice President of Pariveda Solutions, I help clients increase revenue, improve profitability and achieve operational efficiency through the deployment of process and technology.
Pariveda Solutions provides IS Strategy, IS Effectiveness, Business Systems Planning, Project Management, Business Process Analysis, and Technology Solutions such as Custom Application Development, Systems Integration, Business Intelligence, Custom Portals and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). As a result of the merger, Pariveda Solutions now provides enhanced sales force automation services for CRM Solutions, Sales Informational Portals, and Sales Analytics.
I also co-founded SalesMecca.com, a niche sales profession and industry-focused website. SalesMecca.com is essentially a sales success resource center and social networking site for members of the worldwide sales community. SalesMecca.com puts to use Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, groups, wiki-based collaboration, social networking, social media and more.

Vector Marketing Corporation is a $200 million direct sales company that markets Cutco Cutlery, a line of kitchen cutlery, accessories and sporting knives of the highest quality.
I held positions ranging from a direct sales role to a sales manager role to a branch manager role where I ran every aspect of my "franchise" operation. Sales of Cutco products were primarily business-to-consumer, with some business-to-business aspects. This was great experience in learning the basic principals of selling as well as critical lessons on running your own business.
