About David Palm

I am a sales professional with extensive business development and leadership experience. This experience has given me the knowledge, creativity and communicative abilities to expand the presence of the brands I represent with some of the most respected retailers in our industry. In the position as Territory Manager of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia with Altadis U.S.A. Inc, I have increased sales and placements yearly amid tough economic pressures. In my previous positions I have doubled sales volumes at both the retail and manufacturer level. I am responsible for creating and implementing successful in-store promotions at the retail level. My experience as both a retailer and a manufacturer representative has given me the knowledge to maintain and develop strong partners and implement growth strategies within in my territories which have led to an increase in the distribution and sales volumes for the companies I have represented. I deliver on commitments, exceed expected results and foster solid relationships along the way.
