example and is capable and

motivated to achieve as both a

growth & bottom line profitability.

I worked with Eric for two years

while he was employed at NCR.

He was excellent at building

strong relationships with key

decision makers and excelled

at managing a large account

relationship. He helped grow

our relationship with Dell by

over 30% per year and I

strongly recommend him in a

sales/sales management role.

I  have worked with Eric for over 3 years in a collaborative environment. The best endorsement I can give him is I trusted him completely with the customers we shared. Eric has always delivered on expectations whether product knowledge, processes, and/ or timeframe.He is constantly updating his portfolio of experience to stay ahead of the competition. Trust is a main component in sales and Eric has earned every bit of both my customers and my trust.

Eric is an intelligent, savvy,

and creative sales executive."

At Dell Inc, he managed the

aquisition of new business in

one of my regions. Success in

this type of job at Dell does not

always come easily. But, it did

for Eric. I could count on Eric to

identify, call, and close the high

value prospect. If you need a

results minded leader, do not

pass up your chance to meet

with Eric Brunker.

Eric was part of the account

acquisition team with the fastest

growing and most profitable

division of DELL, the PAD Mid-

Size Corporate business. Eric

was one of the top performers

consistently, he was one of the

best "hunters" with great ability

to open and build new customer

relationships. Eric was

recognized multiple times by

our VP for his successful efforts

in bringing in new accounts.

It has been an absolute pleasure both reporting to, and working with Eric Brunker. His level of expertise is unparalleled and delivered in a direct, easy to understand manor. This, paired with his commitment to going the extra mile for his clients and colleagues, is what makes him an exceptionally strong leader. I highly recommend him.

His vast knowledge of how the IT industry works, and his ability to articulate to all levels within an organization is a huge asset to Dell and our customers. You can also count on Eric to help no matter the question, and no matter the time of day. Truly, Eric is a rare talent.
