Background

About Tom Davis

Retail sales store manager, Outside sales Territory manager, Industrial solutions manager. I have worked as a retail store manager in the greater Houston area and southeast Texas outside sales Territory Manager in the school furnishings business since 1981 starting with Cole Educational in South Houston. I am proud of the ability to bring employees to higher levels of success in their development within my team. Dependability, productivity and the ability to meet our customers needs was of the highest order. I managed a southeast Texas sales territory for Beckley Cardy from 1988 until when they were purchased by School Specialty. I was a proud member of their Million Dollar sales fraternity. I was a southeast Texas sales territory manager with the Contract Sales Division with Highsmith under the leadership of Gary Zoeller, until they were purchased by WW Grainger and they basically disbanded the Contract Sales Division. I was a proud member of their Million Dollar sales fraternity. I have always been self motivated, competitive, optomistic and being in sales, this absolutely was a must. Establishing and maintaining positive working relationships with my customers and my suppliers was the top priority for me. I absolutely enjoy the communication and positive flow. Working the booths at Trade Shows was one of my responsibilities. Belonging to those particular organizations was a chance to give back and show appreciation to my customers and their organizations beliefs in putting new and existing products and ideas in front of a captured audience. Some of my best leads and sales opportunities came from these endeavors.
