I assisted Bret during the time I was the receptionist at Copiers Northwest. He was effective in communicating, always had a positive attitude and he was one of the more approachable representatives in his branch due to his nature. Our clients were always pleased with him and are sad to hear that he is no longer with our company. In my opinion, he was a great asset to the company and I'm glad to have gotten the opportunity to work with him. Any company would be fortunate to have him as an employee.

Bret is an experienced salesperson who understands solution selling and is well grounded in proven sales process. He thinks of the big picture for his employer and clients. Bret has managed sales reps for many years and is a good fit as a manager or senior rep in any sales organization.

      In deciding to venture into a new career I chose what at the time was the very lucrative multi-family real estate business. After a good run of success the owner of the company, after many successful years, decided he had had enough and shut the doors. It was a great learning experience for me and wish it could have continued. In deciding to venture into a new career I chose what at the time was the very lucrative multi-family real estate business.

This position was heavy on the software side and less on traditional law books. Was recruited to this company from IKON due to my success in the legal vertical market.
