Corky Stewart
Sal has a fantastic ability to understand technically complex issues, dissect them to determine what customers are really trying to accomplish and then match how the products or services he is selling are able to add value for the client. He is able to accomplish this because of his ability to listen, reason through the situation and then develop a solution that resonates with his client.
