Testimonials
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael Smith on projects in the past, and that experience tells me that I really want to work with him again in the future! It is rare to find an executive with such a broad understanding of what we do in leveraged sales. Michael is that guy.
He understands what we’re doing and how all the various aspects of the business function together. He’s invaluable in compensation plan planning, change, and execution. He’s lights-out with customer service, operations, and compliance. You can’t go wrong with having his expert input on matters of project management. He is an incredible resource when you’re looking at how marketing needs to coordinate with customer service and the field, and how it needs to correctly interact with the compensation plan. I recommend him highly.”
