During my tenure as the national sales manager at Lietz/ Sokkia, I instituted training programs for territorial sales managers. I helped familiarize them with the growing product line and sales techniques as well as expanded the training program. All training programs were run consistently over several years increasing employee retention while increasing profits and staying under budget throughout.

As the southeastern regional sales manager, my sales volumes increased by a multitude of five over 5 years. In a subsequent position as the south central sales manager, my sales nearly doubled and I was awarded the Salesman of the Year award 3 years in a row.

Before moving onto the upper management level of Lietz/ Sokkia, the company doubled my geographic area and responsibility to more than $15 million in sales. I also had three territorial sales managers reporting to me.

 Initiative - I was responsible for introducing a telemarketing program at Lietz/ Sokkia to help support the sales staff that was not able to fully service all of the company’s dealers. I set up the training and managed the programs. Sales increased 37 percent in the target market the first year. Subsequently, more telemarketers were added.
