About Brett Bennett

As the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Calhoun I work to improve our organization’s market position and achieve financial growth. I work closely with the President and Executive Team to define long-term organizational strategic goals, build key customer relationships, identify new business opportunities, negotiate business deals, and maintain extensive knowledge of the Intermodal Trucking Industry\'s current market conditions and trends. I work as the senior sales and marketing lead within the company with the responsibility to align programs and branding with the internal and external sales teams, marketing, and other managers to drive increased sales opportunities and thereby maximize revenue while maintaining consistency wth both short and long term company and client objectives. To achieve this my team and I need to consistently identify potential new customers, present the value of partnership with Calhoun Truck Lines, and ultimately convert them into current clients by bringing new value coupled with a strategy for an evolving continuous improvement of services. My philosophy is to always place the customer experience at the center of everything we do at Calhoun. The client experience should resonate with all of our actions to ensure that we create a partnership based on positive financial results, mutuality, and overall customer satisfaction. With that partnership dynamic in mind we can genuinely collaborate with our clients, not only to bring value with our current portfolio of services and solutions, but also to anticipate or predict solutions and services to meet their future needs as well.
