I am an Entrepreneur with experience in business development, CRM implementation and optimization, business process mapping, project management, and engineering within multiple industries including energy, petrochemical, healthcare, information technology, real estate, and financial services.
My company offers consulting services that give executives confidence in their business processes, pipeline and intelligence. Our primary focus is helping clients collect business development information that is relevant to accomplishing their company specific goals.
Although our CRM consulting practice is inclusive of all CRM software, we also offer our own software and coaching solutions for executives and sales professionals who would like to use Microsoft Outlook as their primary e-mail, calendar and contact management tool. Our coaching sessions help executives increase their efficiency in handling everything from processing emails to scheduling meetings and assigning tasks.
