Richard J. Leonard’s Summary

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, SALES & MARKETING CONSULTING:
I have years of experience helping small to medium size businesses build their dreams. I act as a liaison between the large and small companies. There is more outsourcing and subcontracting of labor and services than in the past. Many large firms are finding it more economical to have someone from the outside do the work than build another bureaucracy within their own firm. The high cost of medical care, workers’ comp, and benefits lends itself to more temporary help or outsourcing. This is where the small business can definitely help the large operations. Business Marketing Solutions is here to open the door for both.

MEDIA ADVERTISING & INTERNET MARKETING CONSULTANT:
Consultative selling of advertising programs, web sites, and internet related products, along with some telephone services and other specialty items. I have experience in internet marketing, SEO and web development.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT-Vice President and General Manager:
I have over 5 years experience in managing and operating an executive search firm, which also had an associated employment agency and a temporary employment service.

DIRECT MARKETING:
I have experience managing telemarketing agents involved in various products and services from online education programs, e-mail protection systems, to premium satellite channels.

EXECUTIVE RECRUITING: I specialized as a “Headhunter” for the oil & gas, banking & retail industry in Houston, Texas.

SALES MANAGEMENT: Business Forms & Systems
I was responsible for the training and development of local sales organization.
