Derrick has been working for me for the last 5 months. He possess the ability to figure out most problems and find a workable solution within an appropriate time frame. Derrick has been an integral part of my district leadership team during his tenure with 2020CellularUS. He picks up on new sales and leadership knowledge and techniques very quickly. His analytical and thoughtful approach to his job has brought him much success and I predict great things for him on the horizon in regards to his career. Not only does he poses traditional education and schooling, but he is a well traveled individual, which plays out positively in his interactions with co-workers. I would trust Derrick and his unique skill set to provide results to our company any day!
