Name : Brian Piotte
Industry Type : Building Products - Equipment
City & State : Billerica, MA
Job Title Sales and business development manager
Relocation Preferences : East Coast U.S.A
Objective : My work history is fairly unique in that I have worked professionally for only four companies but in many capacities. They range from small private businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Two of these experiences required a business and marketing plan and start up of these operations. My HVAC product, services, customer, and engineering background is broad based and over 20 years in duration.

As a salesman and as a manager, I have successfully sold to accounts in different market segments including manufacturers, distributors, contractors, facility managers, and retail. I have sold or managed the selling of HVAC and hydronic equipment and accessories, air filters and systems, and complete retail selling programs. Interacting socially with target and managed account representatives has led to long term relationships and partnerships with the companies I have worked with.

Experienced developing presentations, I am comfortable presenting to small or large groups, from engineers to colleagues to contractors. I have regularly attended and spoke at many local trade organizations including ACCA and Gas networks. In 2006 I chaired The National Air Filtration Associations education and training committee.

My background includes P&L responsibilities and I am comfortable with budgets and meeting them. Managing people and business development is my specialty. Always looking to ensure customer satisfaction, I solicit support from and communicate effectively with the internal staff.

Industry experience is primarily in HVAC products, services, installation and design management, air filters and indoor air quality. I also have technical training in HVAC, hydronic and air filtration design, and I am proficient in the operation of Microsoft and Apple operating systems including PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and Acrobat writer programs.

I have no compensation requirements. I am more interested in working with a company where I can grow, build a career, and enjoy going to work everyday. I am comfortable with relocating to pursue the right opportunity; and traveling to accomplish my goals is not only expected, but preferred.

I believe in hard work, organization, and doing what it takes to get the job done. While making annual goals is extremely important, I am also concerned in laying the groundwork for long-term success. If you are looking for a take charge, hands on sales professional, please contact me for an interview.
