Bio
Mark Torres
I am extraordinarily pleased to write this recommendation for Michael. Michael was already part of the organization when I joined and from day one he gave me a strong impression. I immediately saw in him a motivated person with a tremendous understanding of the complex products and solutions we were providing to our clients. His commitment to bringing in new business was a tremendous inspiration to me and the delivery team. Michael’s impeccable work ethic and constant passion for bringing in new customers made him a true asset to our organization.

Years ago, Michael literally taught me more about selling in a half hour than I had learned in the previous decade and a half in business. He just picked up the phone and did it, making a sale on the spot as I was sitting there watching him in awe. Before that, I had always viewed sales work as a much more cumbersome and tedious process. Michael displays a rare ability to connect with people using his combination of integrity and enthusiasm. Any organization would be lucky to have him. I wish he would come work for me.

Michael takes great pride in his work. Upon hiring, he independently worked very hard to put himself in a position to generate immediate sales results, while also being an informed, competent, and respected sales professional for prospective new customers. And, he did... Michael had early sales success generating totally new clients in multiple vertical markets, and was likely the most consistent performer of the account managers at Centive.
