About Me

I have fifteen years in outside sales. Many times excelling, sometimes struggling, but always striving to improve. My diverse selling background includes the tax and payroll industry, commercial real estate market and the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. It was in those markets that I developed a formidable skill set in business planning, sales and marketing, public speaking, mentoring and group facilitating and training. I was fortunate to have started out in sales with a company that saw the ROI on continuous sales training and was committed to challenging its sales force. That training provided me with a solid sales foundation and sparked my passion for sales and human development.
In my numerous sales positions, I consistently outperformed, winning many regional and national sales and service awards. Throughout my sales career, I was always working on initiatives to improve the sales process. I saw that there were opportunities for improving systems in both sales training and sales management training. Achieving Your Apex is a sales consulting, training and coaching company committed to helping you “Rise Above Your Best.”
