About Derek Edwards
With a passion for law combined with years of experience of selling, managing, and consulting in various industries, my main goal is to bring my highly motivated, well-organized, quick to learn, adaptable, consultative approach to organizations. Years as a successful sales rep and over a year managing an office and team of salespeople has given me a disciplined approach and appreciation for hard work, constant improvement, and devotion to the success of not only myself but of my peers and hopefully contribute to the greater success of the team I am a part of.Professional Skills / Strengths:Legal Research & Legal Drafting SkillsStrong Demonstration / Proof of Concept AbilitiesBusiness Workflow Assessments / Solutions & ServicesStrong Organizational Skills / Detailed and AdaptableProcess Oriented with Exceptional Delegation CapabilitiesSales ProcessStrategy Expert Regarding Key AccountsSales ManagementExperienced Closer with Strong Negotiation skillsRisk Management & HR ConsultingProficient in LexisNexis, Westlaw, Clio, Bloomberg, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, MS OS, HRIS, Payroll Software, ATS, General Hardware & Software
