Bio
Kelly Heller
Few people have the opportunity to work with someone who is "ridiculously talented" like Danna. I had the pleasure of working with Danna at Ferguson Facilities Supply for 3 years. Danna's ability to successfully handle multiple projects for numerous outside sales reps and hundreds of customers was impressive. She has a natural ability in front of customers either educating on product or providing solutions. Danna made a positive impact in the productivity level and sales growth within our team. If given the opportunity she can make a quick impact at your company.
