Timothy Welsh’s Summary

I have demonstrated many times over my ability to Teach, Lead, and Sell. I am dedicated and driven. I have the knowledge and desire to make any sales position into a six digit opportunity for anybody. I want to make the world a better place and can be your life coach and mentor which will produce very positive results.

I love travel and understand the hours needed to get the job done. I am very reliable. Given my experience as a manager, I understand the need for people to be on-time and present daily.

My wife Cheri and I own a Wedding Planning service/floral shop/Gift store in Catlin, IL This affords the opportunity to understand the local business climate and builds rapport with our potential customers.

I have one son Tanner (11 years old) who is non-verbal autistic. I am in a position in my life to demand more from life. I intend to support my wife and provide the best resources to help my son become an independent contributer to society. We have a great support group of relatives and church members that help with Tanner.
