Building Customer & Employee Loyalty

I create, lead, and develop sales organizations in the B2B technology arena. Most early stage executives do not understand how to build or manage high octane sales teams. That’s where I come in.  

My passion is transforming business by applying sales, marketing, and business development expertise. I have consistently developed new, high-growth markets.   

I am guided by two principles that have helped accelerate the growth of many organizations.
 
Business growth is about people, not just technology. 
It's about the people! Forging trusted relationships with clients and employees is one of the keys ingredients in achieving rapid growth. One of my core strengths is developing both effective client facing and internal communications. 

It's an ever-changing market.  
Since today’s features can be obsoleted overnight, it is vital to open feedback channels to all stakeholders and listen. 
I leverage state-of-the-art communications to build long term relationships with customers, partners, and employees. 
These relationships become the foundations of customer loyalty that accelerates and sustains growth.

     “Rick is the quintessential CEO - a smart, visionary, bottom-line focused, technically savvy, articulate and engaging leader. He is a sleeves-up, hands-on force who excels at defining and communicating the path to success for his companies, staff, vendors, clients and stakeholders. 
     Whether it's a startup, emerging or established company, Rick knows how to get the most out of everyone involved. Working with him on the birth and growth of VendorRate, I saw first-hand his expertise in strategic development, deal flow, financing, operations, sales and marketing and management.

     What's more, he's an extraordinary networker and a super guy - a good listener, interesting, charming, and funny. I would gladly work with him again at the first opportunity.”
