Taural Rhoden’s Summary
After many years as a management consultant in the automotive industry, working in various capacities for various firms, I have started my own consultancy.
My past ares of expertise have been quality management and process consulting, "right-sizing" and change management issues CRM and marketing at the national wholesale.
Today, to avoid stagnation and to continue to challenge and grow with with the times, I'm moving strongly into the intersect of traditional sales and customer relationship building and new media as seen online.
