Background

About Daniel Layfield

Senior Sales Engineer with 15+ years of experience driving hardware sales and technical solutions across sectors including high tech, military, clinical/dental, and public sector research. In the past 5 years I have specialized in managing the full sales lifecycle—from prospecting and solution design to contract negotiation and post-sales support—for complex hardware systems deployed across healthcare, enterprise, and research environments. My deep understanding of hardware integration, installation, and performance optimization allows me to deliver high-value solutions that meet demanding client requirements. I maintain subject-matter expertise across our hardware product catalog through close collaboration with Engineering, Production, and Development teams, contributing field-driven insights that shape future product innovation. In my first year, I exceeded sales targets by 30%, demonstrating a proven ability to translate technical capabilities into business outcomes. Beyond sales, I lead post-sale project management, overseeing hardware delivery, installation, and training to ensure seamless deployment and customer satisfaction. I manage the Sales and Service deployments of Salesforce, creating optimized service and sales workflows to improve task efficiency across teams. I also support marketing strategy development, leveraging insights from my volunteer experience in broadcast technology to enhance messaging and engagement. Globally, I guide technical support operations across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, ensuring service excellence and compliance with ISO 9001 standards.
