Details from linked in Recommendations: I worked with Christine for several years, and during the time I worked with her I found her to be a great salesperson and a valuable asset to my team. Christine has very strong sales skills, especially in the area of rapport building. She gets to know her prospects and customers & she really builds a solid, trusting relationship with them. Christine has a great sense of humor and uses this effectively to forge new customer relationships. Christine is very adept at changing her sales approach to match the personality of whoever she is dealing with. Christine is a true "hunter" and any effective sales organization knows these are really hard to find. I highly recommend Christine to any company looking to grow new business.
