Bio
PAUL BOWES
I have know Erin professionally for many years, she is Professional, Organized and most of all has a high octane level of enthusiasm for driving her business and sales goals. She has demonstrated the ability to take a start up and make it successful, adapting her strategies to meet the needs of the customer and the demands of the industry. She is self affacing and genuine, with the ability to engage the customer to drive sales and maintain solid relationships with people at al levels of the organisation. Her drive rubs off on all those around her, which would make a valuable asset to any organization.

Erin trained me at Guardian Security where she was the top outside sales rep. She was a results driven leader with a proven track record. I have implemented many of the best practices she taught me in my daily sales activities. Erin does a good job of reading people and adjsuting her sales process to match. She has the proffessional accumen to present to c-level executives with confidence. Erin also taught me not to be afraid of objections, She will ask the difficult questions that are necessary in solution-based selling. The overall value she places on her client relationship is why she is so successful. I have seen her engage with her direct management to mitigate issues with a concise action plan. If you are lucky enough to work with Erin on any level you will get to encounter her rare and powerful influence. My goal everyday is to try to emulate her positivity and her willingness to perservere, despite any obstacles I may face. She showed me that the connections and relationships we make are what separates us from everything else.
