EXEMPLARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Ward Manufacturing, LLC faced a commodity environment and an oncoming crash in its
primary housing marketplace. By focusing sales efforts on specific channel
segments, the largest segments were limited to 8% reductions in the 2008–2009 period
vs. 36% reductions in other segments.
Concurrently, a new product initiative to identify and produce existing products for new
applications led to thermal solar, geothermal, and other industrial applications.
U.S. representative on executive management board of EU partnership for OEM
distribution, expanding from 1 country to 6 within 3 years.
Manage introduction of international product sales to provide more competitive position
for distribution channel, resulting on ~23% margin increase at the manufacturer
representative level on new business.
Omega, Inc. provided low to mid-market single and multi-family housing in medium to
large regional development. Consistently sold-out communities frustrated customers. An
aggressive program of branding and pricing upgrades, coupled with simplification of
complex option selections led to a 75% increase in add-on sales. Targeted price
increases in all communities slowed sell-outs and increased margin significantly.
During my tenure at Valley Forge Company, the market’s organic demand was stable
and slowly fading, with an unpredictable spike about every 10 years. 9/11 provided that
spike during in this period. My ad hoc design for product rationing across three channels
resulted in well-informed customers, evenly distributed product, and a net gain of
customers, and was used for 2 more years after 9/11.
An ambitious project to create a “new-to-the-world” product involving required
inconsistent, poorly distributed, and variably duplicated color on a textile, clearly opposite
to traditional performance. This aging process created striking antique characteristics.
With new-to-the-category, high-end packaging, a simple cotton product that languished at
under $25 retail suddenly sold out at $60 and higher. Along with competing “me-too”
products, 2.5% of brand new industry revenue was realized with margin increases
reported in the double digits for all manufacturers.
As the #2 firm in the industry, a new web-based service resulted in a robust, useful,
narrowly focused tool that benefitted 3 out of 4 sales channels and boosted competitive
standing in all channels. By pushing customer-specific pricing and delivery information
through the web, nonessential calls to customer service lines were reduced, speeding
transactions for 2,500 commercial customers. A consumer interface also provided a
zip code based referral system that sent web visitors directly to commercial dealers and
retailers, complying with their commercial requirements.
While with The Stanley Works, a $60 million division grew to $100 million in 6 years
due to a market segmentation and product application process I implemented. Using
high-performing and high-intellect field marketing personnel, individual market segments
were identified, managers trained in marketing and sales programs, and promotional
strategies put into place for multiple market segments such as healthcare, automotive,
construction equipment, military, microelectronic distribution, and manufacturing.
Later, my market analysis supported the strategic acquisition of an automated material
handling firm. The new entity was known as the industry leader within 12 months and
had produced an additional 12% of revenue for the acquiring division.
