Bio
Dennis Luedtke
I had the opportunity to work under Jesse at Smart Chicken during his tenure as North Central Regional Director. His ability to develop sales along with his leadership skills made this region the highest revenue producing one at the time. He is well focused and driven which were just a few reasons for his success. It was a pleasure and rewarding to work for him and was instrumental in my further development with the company.
Mark A. Haskins
I had the opportunity to directly manage Jesse for over 2 years. His work ethic and people skills are very unique. He has the ability to accept a challenge, think outside the box, and then dramtically attack the approach. His marketing knowledge enabled a furtherance of our successful approach to the marketplace.
