Scott C Wins $125,000+ SVP Sales & Marketing Post with Software Firm in Pacific Northwest -- "High Upside Potential -- Location Appealing" -- Says SET "Gave Me The Confidence"-- Praises Marketing Director Lynette D

Title: SVP Sales & Marketing
Field/Industry: Software
Compensation: $125,000 + stock

 Scott will lead Sales and Marketing operations for the company, including the current staff of 3 marketing and 3 sales people. His immediate focus, he says, will be on reining in the firm's unfocused, undisciplined sales effort. He volunteered positive comments about the job and SET:

     "Many factors hit the target with this opportunity. Salary is acceptable with very high upside potential. Downtown location is very appealing. The obstacles that need to be overcome are ones I am quite comfortable with and have worked on the exact issues successfully in the past. Everyone in management is aware of the troubles they have and when my background was presented, were quite anxious to have me join."

     "The greatest benefit SET provided in helping me to land this position was in helping me to evaluate myself, polish up my resume, and give me the confidence to seek the level of position that I knew I wanted, but I was nervous, and knew it would be difficult to find."

 Scott also praised the helpfulness of the resumes, sample letters and resume distributions, the support from his Marketing Director Lynette D, the solutions for concerns, the interviewing strategies, and guidance on negotiations. He also praised the website and website support team, and used the website aggressively for finding advertised openings, contacting venture capital firms, finding emerging opportunities, getting information before interviews, and other purposes.
