RECENT JOB ROLES.
Why do some people achieve more than others? It’s an easy question. Not such an easy answer? To achieve more than others in your team or company requires you to do one thing mainly. Do something different. To do exactly like everyone else and expect a different result than the rest is an unwise course of action.
It’s easy to be world champion in your head, but data driven and inspired actions, decide whether or not you actually are.

GREAT DRIVE MATTERS.
Get Shit Done or GSD for short is a craft not to be underestimated. To day by day, week by week have the strength and stamina to do more than others yield opportunities. That together with ability is the most important factor required to win.
GSD is easy enough to comprehend. High activity means that you are more often in the offensive zone, that you challenge yourself. Ability however consists of three things; Observation, Capability to assess the right course of action and the GSD mentality to execute that course of action without delay.
01. DATA ANALYTICS.
Data Analytics is the collection, transformation, and organization of data in order to draw conclutions, make predictions, and drive informed decision-making. As an analyst I use structured thinking too recognize a problem or situation, organize available information, reveal gaps, opportunities and identify options. Professional sales execution relate to that in beautiful synergi.
02. SALES.
You can recognize good sales, best sales always look exactly the same. Over the years, sales development has evolved into an indispensable element common to most high-growth sales organizations.
03. MARKETING.
Good marketing is simple, offer driven and has one task alone: To connect a potential buyer with a seller. The word Marketing, means just that: To bring to market!
04. LEADERSHIP.
Good leadership is committed, straightforward, clear and simple. It works every day and in pressured situations. Good leadership builds individuals to develop their own sense of responsibility and self-leadership. The goal of a good leader must be not to be needed in everyday operational situations. My leadership is practical and focuses on empowering the group, making it grow and function autonomously. It works in practice and my philosophy is, if something works in practice, it is right.

DATA DRIVEN RESULTS.
Talent and acquired knowledge enable a high ability. A high ability yields measurable data driven results. That’s why, a talented, knowledgeable, curious individual with structured thinking wins.
THE OBJECTIVE MUST COME FIRST.
Together Everybody Accomplish More. That really says it all. The TEAM is the highest form of collaboration. If we work together, the accumulated effect from a team effort will wildly exceed that of any individual. For the TEAM to be dead effective, the team GOAL must have priority of that of any individual. That’s why all the world’s special forces have an absolute dedication to the TEAM objective.
