1.- Personal Information:
Place of birth: Lima, Peru.
USA Legal Resident, since 2008
Civil Status: Married
Languages: Very good communication skills in Spanish and English.
2. - Position Desired: Sales Manager
Solid experience in Operations management, Sales management, sales and sales
development, in the area of computers, printers, printer parts, supplies, general
electronics and electronic equipment.
Excellent communication and presentation skills. I really connect with clients, give full
attention about their needs. I listen to them and earn their trust, based on a human touch
with honesty, hard work, knowledge of my products and an assurance that we will be
here to help them and support them in relation to our products.
Being in the real world, visiting clients, those that know little about what they want, and
those that think they know too much, I have learned how to deal with them, aimed not at
fighting with them, rather at gaining their business.
I can manage the Sales Department, build a knowledgeable and motivated sales team,
because I have an education and a solid experience for team building, including:
Definition of goals, project targets, identification of resources, cost analysis, estimation
of profits, and the most important thing, help the sales force to open their minds and let
the energy inside flow with a challenging and winning attitude.
Because of my education, and especially, because I enjoy doing it, I am very comfortable
giving presentations to small and large groups.
When one is a learner, nothing beats experience. Over the years I went thru different
situations, from celebrating achievements to solving problems. I have plenty of
anecdotes, which I often use, because a story is worth one thousand pictures, and a
picture is worth one thousand words.
Good experience in letter of credit processing: When the order is large enough,
sometimes, the client prefer to issue a letter of credit. This instrument is good, however it
is necessary to have good knowledge and experience, in order to process it well and get
paid immediately.
Family and work: During my career I have always studied professional and family
matters. I am convinced that for every person that works, there is a why, and it is
2. normally the family. Therefore an education in the family should matter to everyone,
because it has great influence in the production and effectiveness at work.
