Title: Sales Manager, Automotive and Industrial
Field/Industry: High-Pressure Water-Jet Cleaning systems
Location:Michigan

 Mark will manage and develop the automotive and industrial teams in a defined territory for this quality manufacturer. He is targeted to grow the market 10 percent/year, with focus on both capital equipment and after-market penetration. He will also secure important corporate relationships. His comments:

     "This is a great opportunity to utilize my experience to help develop and grow a small company that has been stuck at current level sales for the past 3 to 4 years."

 Mark was highly complimentary about SET:

     "The most helpful items of the campaign, if I had to choose some, were the resume writing, the direct mail program, the on-line access to recruiters, job banks, etc., the compensation negotiating techniques, and last but not least, having my own personal consultant available as a sounding board."

 Mark was hard put to choose, though, and he commented on several other items as well. These included the career and industry options, the Industry Characteristics Profile, identifying all of his strengths, guidance on a communication strategy, the sample letter package, and the ongoing support from his web support team.

 He used the website for many purposes, from strategy guidance to advertised and recruiter openings, to special reports on companies before interviews. He took special care to note the friendliness and expertise of all members of his SET team, especially his Campaign Manager Barbara R.
