Okay, let’s tackle this. So Rod Smith has a mix of sales and customer service skills, which are valuable in many industries. His experience in sales management and strategic planning also adds to his value. Skills like negotiation, team building, and continuous improvement are in demand, but not as highly paid as technical skills like Microsoft Office. Location is Marysville, California, which is not a major hub for sales professionals. Considering the skills and location, I'll estimate a lower rate, around $75 per hour, which is a rough estimate for a sales professional with these skills in a smaller location.
