"I quickly moved from being a mentor to someone who watched David become the number one sales person at Dictaphone. David's ability to transform a situation starts with attitude and moves to action. Other sales people respond to David because of his skills and abilities in sales situations. Not only have I made sales calls with David, but I have watched his coaching abilities increase sales and build morale. David also uses his personal time to help young people – a trait that demonstrates a serving and giving personality."
