MIKE KUNKLE
WHAT I DO:
• I analyze performance levers, build selection, training and performance systems based on the study of top producers, and implement other systems, processes and policies to support the levers and the sales/buying processes. Then I build the training, tools and resources needed by sales managers to reinforce, sustain, and grow performance. This work radically improves sales results and moves the needle on the metrics that matter.
• As of January 2013, I am the Director, Product Development for Richardson. See that role on my profile for more detail.
