Bio
Tim Houlihan
Ben's dedication to excellence shines through on a regular basis. His call planning is excellent, he never starts a call without an agenda and ends a call with a set of action items and next steps. He's a sharp wit and is abundantly knowledgeable about his offerings; at the same time, he has no problem saying, "I'll have to get back to you on that," when the situation calls for it. He's driven to get his job done in a way that always puts the customer first. He's a top-shelf partner and I'm grateful to have worked with him.
Thomas Nave
For the 3 years that I've known Ben through our Clubs, classes, and other coursework, he has never ceased to impress not only our teachers but the students around him. His hard-work through two summers of interning puts him way ahead of other sales students at our University. Additionally, his everyday personal skills are probably in the top 10% of any other people in our age group which is a trait that cannot be taught. Any company in the sales field would be lucky to have him.
