My
contributions to Seagate Software were most evident in the quality of the product collateral.
I helped save thousands of dollars in re-printing costs
by correcting typo and grammatical errors prior to production.
After being on the team
for a short time at Seagate/Veritas/Symantec, they nicknamed me "Grid-Eyes"
for my excellent proofreading ability. They said I look
at things from various perspectives "like a grid" and
"nothing got by me." To this day, they still send me work
to proof from their Orlando office.

Seagate/Veritas is now Symantec

As
the Senior Proposal Specialist at Harward
Technical Enterprises (HTE), I contributed to the
company's leadership position in the public sector market
by refining the proposal format and rolled-out a quality
assurance program that ensured all customer needs and
expectations were met. I created a standardized corporate
cost-pricing model to analyze (ROI) return-on-investment.
This position allowed me to use my desktop publishing
skills to graphically illustrate system configurations,
while tailoring each proposal to the individual client.
By consistently exceeding senior management expectations,
I was promoted to a newly created position of Marketing
Support Manager where I performed forecast analysis, contracts
administration, tradeshow setup, presentation development,
hardware/software upgrades, and coordinated all aspects
of the sales and marketing support programs.

As
a Proposal Specialist at Digital Equipment
Corporation (DEC), my diverse skills allowed me
to prepare customized proposals that incorporated marketing,
sales, finance, design, and management experience into
a format that matched DEC system capabilities with customer
needs. By graphically highlighting system capabilities,
account executives used my tailored presentations to clearly
define DEC's ability to deliver total solutions, thus
increasing overall company revenue. My close interaction
with both technical and sales management allowed me to
become qualified to provide price quotes along with proposal
management. Additional support was provided as a WPS-Plus
trainer for company employees and clients. DEC was sold
to Compaq.
