This is a page from the packet I FedEx’ed to Magellan’s on July 6, 2010:
I will do much more for you, too:
- When Progressive International’s warehouse ground to a halt after an ERP implementation, they called on me to get it back up and running, even though I knew very little about the warehouse at the time.
- When Eddie Bauer needed to train its District Directors how to quickly read and understand a complex financial report, they called on me to explain it clearly.
- When one of the world’s largest stone-fruit distributors needed a tool to forecast the ebb and flow of their various varieties over the next 20 years, they called on me to help build it.
- I built two businesses from scratch to make my living for 6 years in Turkey.
- I started the first Toastmasters club in Istanbul and grew it to 40 members.
