About Matt Hazelet

In an era of non-stop technological innovation, more and more tasks, jobs, and careers are being are being fulfilled by robots, computers, and other automated systems. It seems like the average person has more interactions with the device in their pocket than they do with other human beings on a daily basis. And while the jury is out on whether these trends are good, bad, or a bit of both, human interaction remains an integral part of business and commerce.I am no less guilty than most Americans of spending perhaps too much time glued to my devices. After all, I do have a passion for technology, and I am always eager to learn new ways of putting it to work for me. That said, I am constantly making a conscious effort to be engaging, friendly, and relatable to the people around me, in a professional setting or otherwise, and I have always taken pride in my ability to relate to other people.These are the values and principles I bring to table in any sales team. Whether the task is managing dozens of restaurant employees, selling Medicare plans for the largest health insurer in the country, or providing businesses with a new way of marketing their products, the essence of it is establishing and maintaining relationships through various forms of human interaction. My time spent in sales has made very familiar with such interactions - including cold calling, prospecting, grass-roots marketing, market analysis, email/social media marketing, and organization/record keeping with various forms of CRM systems.
