- Job Title:
- Founder of Sales Management 2.0
Director of Recruitment for a large for profit college.
- About Me:
- I am a 34 yo Director of Recruitment for a mid sized company in Everett Wa. I enjoy helping sales people overcome the negative connotations associated with being a sales professional. I believe sales is a important and essential function in the economy, and that the professionals in this field should be proud of what they do every day. If you are not I would suggest either changing how you do what it is you do, or that you find someone new to do it for! My blog was created to share helpful insights and practical knowledge that will help every sales professional increase their income without compromising their values. This is not a blog about sneaky tricks and tactics, but instead, a place where I can share how doing things right can positively impact your results and bottom line
Thanks for visiting Sales Management 2.0 I hope you enjoy the site!

About Brad and Sales Management 2.0
I want to start out by thanking everyone that has followed me from my old site on Wordpress to this site. Now that I am re-launching and re-branding my site I felt it was appropriate to introduce myself to everyone again and also fill people in a little bit on what I am trying to accomplish on the new platform I am using and where I see this new site going.
I am a forward thinking professional that is a bit opinionated, and that means that I enjoy writing but not about myself! Still, it is important that you know a bit about me so here I go…
I believe that inside every person is an exciting and dynamic individual that is dying to get out. My mission as a leader is to help transform average people into sales professionals, and develop my organization’s leaders for tomorrow; and this sales and management blog / network is an extension of that mission.
I have had an eclectic but successful career that spans several industries including, but not limited to military service, multi-level marketing, financial services, and proprietary education. I have done B2C and B2B as both an inside and outside sales person. During my career I have worked with hundreds of sales people, some good and some bad. The important thing is I have learned many lessons from all of them and it is my mission to share them here on this site.
My education background includes a BA in Business and Economics from The Evergreen State College, a MBA from the University of Phoenix, and several corporate and military leadership programs. I am currently the Director of Recruitment for a major for profit college in Washington State where I manage the schools marketing and recruitment efforts.
I like to work hard and play harder. I have a wife Kristi, and a three year old daughter Sophia. Together we enjoy running, hiking, snowboarding, sea kayaking, 4-wheeling, camping, cycling, and karate. I also collect comic books and am a video game geek. I Love my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii! On top of all that I am a voracious reader and I love to debate topics of all types.
Now that you know a bit about me, I hope you will enjoy this site. I will try to make it insightful, honest, and encouraging. I look forward to reading your comments, blogs, forum posts, and e-mail so that I can provide the best service and content possible. It is my goal over time to develop this site into a place where professionals can chat, swap ideas, and seek advice on a number of topics. I look forward to seeing you host your own blog, interacting with others, and starting groups so we can all network and grow together. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions to improve this site, so please feel free to e-mail me any time by leaving a comment on my profile or shooting me an e-mail at bmtrnavsky at msn.com

What is Sales Management 2.0?
“What is Sales Management 2.0?” This is a question I have been asking myself a lot lately and the answer I have come up with is that I am asking the wrong question… I should not be asking what it is; I should be asking what it should be!

Let me see if I understand. You are cold-calling door-to-door. On your first call you give a short pitch and try to set an appointment to visit a second time. On the second visit you make a 2-3 hour presentation. Is that right?
