"In his previous role with Auto Interiors Magazine, Michael Culberson was instrumental in bringing our organizations together to form a partnership agreement regarding an upcoming industry conference. Michael took a leading role in developing the business organization within ITSA. He also developed new marketing tools for ITSA that enabled us to reach a broader market, increase the awareness, and to insure the success of our conference."
“Michael understands the sales process from cold calling to closing. He is able to establish rapport with his clients by providing relent information to the clients needs uncovered through the process of discovery and then providing a solution that can have immediate positive impact with the customer bottom line. He was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to any organization that wishes to have an established sales professional.”
“While I was an internet sales manager for BellSouth Advertising & Publishing I got to know Michael and saw him achieve many successes as an cyber sales rep. Michael has no fear of the phone and of asking for the sale. As a result, he always achieved his sales goals and consistently led the team with the number of new clients he acquired.”
“During my time working with Michael at Bill Communications/VNU/Nielsen, he proved to be a consummate professional willing to put the customer first. His ability to tailor his offerings to best assist the client in reaching their goals was outstanding and created great relationships between he and the customer. Additionally, his desire to grow as a professional by taking on sales opportunities in new media markets was a great asset to the company.”
“When I worked with Michael he was persistent, professional and flexible. He expressed a genuine interest in the advertising needs of our bank, in order to tailor a program to help us more effectively utilize his publication to reach our audience. At one point when we needed design assistance with a project, he located an artist to help. He is client-focused and resourceful. I recommend Michael if you're looking for someone to provide high energy service with great personality
"Michael Culberson has a proven track record of being a strong and effective sales person. During the first half of 2001, he singly-handed brought in more than 73% of the budgeted revenue for the site, www.autointeriors.com. This website excelled as the website with the most advertising revenue and the largest number of advertisers in our Atlanta office due to Michael's efforts.
Michael understands the value of web advertising, and is able to communicate that value to his clients effectively. His proposals are engaging and clearly promote the benefits of advertising with the brand and, in particular the website."
“Michael was very task oriented when he worked for me. He was not afraid to pick up the phone and call customers. He developed new online business for us before online really hit it's stride.”
