Bio
George Myers
I have enjoyed the time and opportunities I have had with Lonnie. Our projects have consistently exceeded expectations and impact. Specifically, Lonnie makes an extra effort to include all members of the team and generates innovative solutions. Keep up the great work Lonnie!
Scott Bush
Hiring Managers, Customers and Business Professionals, My recommendation for Lonnie Smith branches out to any/all facets of sales role/management position. Lonnie’s foundation in all that he does begins with integrity and ethics. Doing what is right for his clients and the people he’s worked with has become a known staple with everyone that has worked with him. His hard work and determination sets him apart from most salespeople, but it is also his ability to connect with his customers (both outside and inside) that truly gives him the edge above everyone else. I have worked with Lonnie for over 15 years and to this day consider him one of the best salespeople I have had the pleasure of doing doing business with. Scott Bush
