Clayton has 25 plus years of sales and marketing experience mainly in Canada and some in the United States. He led a successful national sales team. He's lead two training departments with large sales organizations. Clayton operated two small businesses. He doesn't consider himself a sales expert as he is continually learning about the sales profession. He understands the demands placed on salespeople today. Clayton is passionate about performance excellence, and big on sales and service delivery, that’s what it’s all about. Without these two elements companies don’t make money. Perhaps his biggest ah ha in sales has been the importance of keeping a positive mindset. He runs 5 km every other day, is a passionate but only mediocre golfer, and a lover of dogs. Clayton lives with my wife in Oakville Ontario. You can reach him by emailing clayton AT Salesopedia.com
