Bio
Shane Fogle
Jeff is a unique business development professional who possesses a rare combination of unprecedented relationship building skills coupled with solid business and technical acumen. He is very well connected in the Atlanta area and the overall IP Telephony space in general. I highly recommend Jeff as a true professional who can be counted on to deliver quality results and, most importantly, build lasting partnerships and relationships.
Robert Maute
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff on two occasions, most recently at Smoothstone IP Communications. He is a top performing sales executive who holds his standards for performance to the highest levels. In the time Jeff worked in my sales organization he consistently overachieved and delivered excellent results. His greatest strength is his ability to work strategically and gain mindshare with customers and partners in a fast paced sales environment. He is a creative and highly talented sales professional, striving to achieve the best he can every day. Any company looking to fill their team with A players would do well to have Jeff on their team. He is one of the best in the business and I would give him my strongest recommendation. RDM
