Bio
Joe Manzari
Paul was such a breath of fresh air upon his arrival at IRG. As our first recruited Sales Leader, he was given a blank canvas by which he'd need to design our official Sales team. This meant supporting existing reps, building a sales process, and executing on the corporate vision, all while hitting loft sales targets. Paul performed exceptionally well. He quickly earned the respect of his team by bringing value to their client and prospect meetings and creating an environment where each rep could thrive upon their unique skill sets. Paul is loyal, trustworthy, creative, and hard-working. I look forward to seeing where his career path takes him. Which ever company lands him will be glad they did.

Paul is an outstanding sales leader. I hesitate to just put him in sales, as his skill set easily crosses over to other departments in a beneficial way. He is a big picture type person, but is not afraid to get into the trenches to close a deal, help a customer, or assist a colleague. I have personally seen him take a leaderless sales team and in short order create forecasts, a team environment, a vision, clear direction, and momentum to reach corporate goals.

Network Access Solutions was one of the "original four" facility based DSL companies. Our focus was on leveraging DSL as a "last mile" technology to offer multi-site organizations a faster, cheaper technology in replacing the slow, costly frame relay networks. I was a top 2% performer and winner of multiple awards for exceeding quota on a monthly and annual basis. It was at NAS where I formed an appreciation for the value of leveraging technology to maximize profits and worked with the founders of IRG.

Merck's comprehensive training program taught me the core competencies of sales, corporate life and ethical behavior within a company. During my tenure at Merck, I was successful at increasing market share in my territory across all of my key product lines. I was the winner of the MVP award for my district, received an "exceeds expectations and high leadership" rating given to only the top 5% in the company and I received two "Awards of Excellence" for outstanding leadership. One of those "Awards of Excellence" awards was from the Sr. Vice President of Sales at Merck and resulted in a "Teamwork Award" being implemented for all territories across the entire nation.
