Ryan McKeever
I had the privilege of working for Ken right out of college in 2005. I am now in my 15 year with Hibu and have learned so much over the years. Ken is a huge part of my growth in this sales profession. He was a great sales manager and someone that was always there to help in any way possible. He was excellent on a sales call in really finding out the customers overall needs where. He had built tons of relationship throughout his years and it’s because of his overall leadership. I always enjoyed working for and with him.
Robert F. Rossomondo
I’ve been in professional sales and sales management for 40 years. I’ve just about seen it all as a salesperson, manager, trainer and executive. If I were to start a business that required a strategic approach to selling and an efficient sales organization, one of my first hires would be KenPizzico. I’ve known and worked withKen for many years at Yellowbook and Hibu. Ken is the consummate sales organization pro. He understands all aspects of a successful sales operation including resources deployment, training, compensation, customer service, finances and leading salespeople. And he’s a very talented sales pro himself. All in all he’s the complete package ! Whatever role he initially fills he will ultimately take on greater responsibilities ... because he will gravitate to them. And it will be apparent that the organization will benefit tremendously. I highly endorse and recommend Ken Pizzico for consideration in any aspect of asales operation. Please contact me if you want to discuss Ken’s capabilities.
