I'm back! Finally was able to get to an Internet connection that works.
So Wonka, here is the answer and I really hope you can help! I'm in sales. I started my professional life in the sciences working in Health Physics (radiation protection) at a nuclear power plant in PA. When I moved to TX, I needed to find work and got into sales. I started in car sales 19 years ago and worked my way up to sales manager. I then moved to oil and NG sales 14 years ago. I worked for operators who drill oil and gas wells in TX and LA. My job was to bring in accredited (net worth over $1,000,000) investors in the well projects. This was done 99% over the phone. For the last 10 years I have been a VP at 3 different firms, for the last 2 years a new startup operating company. My duties included nearly everything from choosing and implementing sales software, hiring and training support staff, hiring and training sales staff, running sales meetings, writing and putting together sales prospectus' all while prospecting and bringing in new investors.
Because of my technical background I'm very good at learning the in and outs of processes and products. I'm very good at relating highly technical concepts in an easy to understand way. I'm very good at selling high cost intangibles. It's not easy calling someone up and asking for $100,000 for something they can't see or touch. I would say my best quality is my ability to form relationships with my investors. Whether they were making great returns or were in "dry holes", I always maintained good relations with every one of my clients.
Let me know if you need anymore info. I really appreciate any help you can give me, more than you know. So far the only responses I have had are from Life insurance companies and 100% commision MLM's!
