Tyler Yeom
As a advertising professional, It is hard,perhaps rare to come across talent like Antoine. Antoine is a creative thinker with innovative problem solving skills. I have witnessed Antoine rising above through the toughest situations and problems. In addition Antoine's passion for people is evident through his relationships and business partners in which he is truly valued.

I am pleased to recommend Antoine Saab for the position of sales manager. Antoine has helped train and coach some of the new representatives. He has always been a responsible and dependable sales representative. I believe he is a logical choice to take over my position as an interior designer working with him through projects. He knows his product lines, his clients and the other sales representatives extremely well and has earned the respect of his clients and co-workers through his hard work and his elegant morals. It is my belief that Antoine will be a highly effective sales manager should you choose to promote him to the job. He has tremendous energy, is always enthusiastic and has some new and innovative ideas that I believe will serve the company well. Antoine is highly approachable and I am confident he will communicate company sales expectations clearly to the staff and be there to help them meet all the expectations. I sincerely believe he has earned this position as a sales manager and that he is the best person for the job. I am confident that you will not be disappointed with his performance. Respectfully,
