Joe is a relationship builder. In the time we’ve worked on product demonstrations and marketing together, I’ve seen how his mix of soft skills and sales savvy connect quickly and easily with people. I’ve watched him attack cold calls with zeal, turn cold leads to warm with the right email, nurture warm leads with vigor, and engage clients with passion. As a result, Joe has tripled demand for product demonstrations, built a solid pipeline, and closed additional business for the company. At the same time, Joe is a team player, working closely with his co-workers in product development and client success to build mutual understanding that helps us collaborate and achieve our goals. Joe’s business development savvy is complimented by his big picture thinking, his integrity and his affable personality. I will miss his ability to tackle any challenge with a positive attitude. As well as his spot-on movie and book recommendations!

Joe Stern was by far one of the best managers I have ever had! Joe sincerely and genuinely cared for everyone's success on the team. Because of Joe's dedication and hard work in our sales department, I can honestly say I would have not developed or mastered the skill set needed in our department. Joe's hard work and dedication helped all of us learn and adapt new skills everyday. Joe was always there to assist and guide with all questions, concerns, or new responsibilities added to our roles. He really knows how to bring great energy to the team, as well as always trying his best to make sure we received everything and anything we needed in order to be successful to meet our goals. I truly enjoyed working with Joe Stern, he is an excellent hard working, motivated, and determined individual. Any team/organization would be absolutely lucky to have him.
