COVER LETTER: To whom it may concern, While a resume can give you a snapshot of an individual it is often hard to paint the whole picture. Please allow me to provide a little more information. In June of this year I was approached with a new and exciting opportunity, VP of Sales for Secure Channels in Irvine. Secure Channels is a 4-year-old Startup Company, which has spent the past 4 years in Product development. I was excited about an opportunity to direct a company transition from being a "Product Development" driven company to a "Revenue" driven company. I soon learned however that the company was under funded leading to product delays, which are significant. I have done my best to lay a foundation for significant sales success however without completed products and questionable "market ready" release dates I have been forced to evaluate this carrier choice. Prior to SCI was Director of Sales for CenturyLink in SoCal, NV, AZ, UT & CO focused on Software Companies specifically. I managed a team of 6 Sales reps and 3 sales support individuals. Our team managed customer billing of over 4 million annually and was responsible for driving new sales revenues of 1.5 million plus annually. My four years quota track record at CenturyLink, 2013 Finished 460% of New Sales Quota, 2014 Finished 231% of New Sales Quota, 2015 Finished year at 167% of Quota. 2016 Finished year at 172% of Quota after taking on new territory and reps. I left in June 0f 2017 at 112% of quota. I have very strong background/experience in management. I spent 14+ years managing sales in the software industry. I have managed a team of sales reps as large as 16 sales reps most of whom worked remotely. I am a strong believer in customer centric selling, which is the predecessor to solution selling. I believe that to sell effectively you need to be able to do at least one of three things for your customer. That is to fill a need, solve a problem or achieve a goal. I have developed the ability to have business discussions with C-levels specifically CEO, CFO & CTO individuals. Gaining the needed information to align their goals with the functionality found in the solutions I sell to make the typical complex sales cycle more simplistic. I have a strong work ethic with proven processes to be successful. I have a strong track record of successful selling! I would greatly appreciate a personal interview. I am confident that you will quickly see the experience and strength I can bring to your organization. Thank you Jeffrey Bean OBJECTIVE: for 2007 to grow business by 120 accounts.
