Bio
Scott Grahl
I had the pleasure of working with Eric for the last 2-1/2 yrs. He has a knack for building confidence and cohesiveness within a team. Eric is exemplary in his emotional stability and positivity, which helps set the standard for his entire team. Dorner's business model of high mix configurable conveyor and automation systems makes for a demanding and dynamic environment in the Inside Sales Team which Eric led with confidence and poise. When coupled with his depth of product knowledge and problem solving skills, these traits make him a natural leader.
Steven Stuff
Eric is a strong, supportive leader with a clear customer focus and eye for continuous improvement. During my time at Dorner as the Director of Sales Support, Eric reported to me directly and was a key proposal engineer. His knowledge of automation, process efficiency, attention to detail and supportive management style allowed him to advance thru the organization and become a trusted resource and mentor. He is respected by customers and distributors aIike. I would recommend Eric to anyone seeking conveyor and automation expertise and/or technical sales management skills.
