Background

About Adam Williams

In order to excel in today’s competitive business environment, a successful Sales Manager needs a balance of business development, consultative sales, and networking expertise - backed by robust leadership skills. I combine over 2 decades’ experience leading sales and territory growth for multiple high-profile organizations; making the forward-looking decisions that drive significant and sustainable business growth; developing key strategies and policies that maximize sales potential; and consistently raising the bar in customer service, satisfaction, and retention. I excel at providing outstanding pre-and post-sales support, generating significant repeat and referral business, mentoring and motivating sales associates, providing limitless customer service across the sales cycle, and cultivating and maintaining an up-to-date knowledge of new product innovations, market trends, and competitor activity. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a customer, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately and effectively. I am an effective listener who absorbs information like a sponge and doesn’t rush client interactions to close a deal. Rather than treat my clients as a means to an end, I handle each one with patience and understanding. I listen to each customer’s goals and pain points so I can better align their needs with what I’m offering. This makes each customer interaction more relevant, meaningful and solutions-oriented.
