I have known Mike for almost 10 years now and I have always known Mike to be very good at creating and managing sales teams and driving them toward success. It was a pleasure working with Mike while he was at PROSOCO and I was fortunate enough to continue a professional relationship with Mike while he had moved on to other companies. Mike would be an excellent addition to any company looking for a dynamic, growth minded sales professional that values relationship selling.
