Bio
Sharon McMilion
Tim Hess fulfilled various management roles during my 7 years in outside sales with Fastline Publications. Whether he was the CFO, or the president, Tim was always a person of strong leadership within the company: vocal, visible and accessible to the sales force. Tim was always a driver of innovation in our products, as well as our training. In any organization, there is always some resistance or hesitation in new products or new training initiatives. I can honestly say, Tim Hess always had a wise perspective to share, one that I for one often didn’t see, that would help a person in sales overcome perceived obstacles. He has this great ability to assess a situation, determine what information is needed to make a decision, and wade through any confusion or tangent
