About Lou Murray

Since childhood, I’ve had a passion for helping others and am constantly pondering,\"How can I make things better?\" Throughout my career, I have helped financial institutions increase market share and their customer base. I’ve brought revenue and profit to the brands I’ve represented. I’ve created B2B partnerships and maintained client retention with success. I’ve provided motivation through public speaking engagements and have helped industry associations meet their objectives. What solutions can I provide? What presentation can I write to motivate? What sales strategy or product development ideas can I provide to enhance superior service and promote better value? How can I make that client partner more successful? How can I help my team meet its objective? How can I assist my management? How can I help the student learn? How can I make that person smile? How can I make this world a better place? It’s not just about exceeding goals. It’s about doing the right thing. It’s about helping the people. My passion is helping others and I thrive off of relationships: family, friends, co-workers, teammates, partnerships, clients, customers, students, volunteers, the greater community… Call it “southern hospitality”. Respect, integrity, honesty - those are not just words. I am in the “people business” and I’m good at it.Other Competencies: Business Development, Leadership, Training, Public Speaking, Territory Management, Public Relations, Team-Building, B2B sales, Consultative Sales, Customer Retention, Customer Relations, Customer Service Management, eCommerce, Consultation, Collaboration, Mentorship, Customer Service, Presentations, Managing Change, Motivation, Solution Selling, CRM, Salesforce, SharePoint, GoldMineContact: l••••••••@att.net
