"I have been very impressed with Gary’s professionalism, his knowledge of the industry and his ability to effectively communicate ideas, and strategies with regard to target accounts. His knowledge of different vertical markets and the specific needs that might be uncovered or addressed for a particular vertical or client have been invaluable to me and my sales staff. He seems to approach each meeting, account and sales person with an open mind and a true desire to not only help advance the sales cycle but to also increase the knowledge base of the sales team. It is very obvious Gary understands the importance and significance of the client relationship between SD and OOSI. Gary brings true value to every meeting and conversation."
