Bio
David L Cottingham
While working at XTRA Lease, I interviewed and hired Ruth as a Sales Rep for our trailer rental/leasing facility in Commerce, California (Los Angeles). Over the first year she worked there, I spent a substantial amount of time directly involved in her on-boarding and training process. Later in her career, it tapered off to match ride-along time commensurate with her contemporaries. She was still employed at XTRA when I retired in 2008. During the time I worked with her, I found Ruth to have excellent sales skills, both as a hunter and in customer retention and problem-solving. She has strong analytical and tactical sales skills, as well as good conceptual skills. While polished and professional, she is not afraid to walk up to a foreman on a loading dock and begin a conversation to qualify an account on a cold call. She presents herself well, is very culturally aware (comes in handy in an area like Los Angeles with the diverse international customer base) and puts both prospects and customers at ease when working through details or negotiations. As Ruth has a solid business background, both through formal education and experience with multiple types/styles of sales and customer base, I would recommend her as quite qualified for a variety of sales positions in multiple industries.
