About Rick Bowden

I have been in business in Columbus Indiana for a little over 5 years now, performing all sales, service and installations. I had been at Kinetico for nearly 7 years previously, for the first 5 1/2 years I recruited, hired, trained and managed sales in Indiana and Ohio in 3 offices. Two of which have honored for achieving the top 5 in the country. When I left that position for the sales trainer, the three store average for \"self generated\" business was 40%. Prospecting is a vital part of our business so making it a focal point of our daily routine was key.As the North American Dealer Sales Trainer my team and I helped our dealer network achieve a 15% growth in 2012 in an industry that grew less than 1% as a whole.I Managed and trained several top sales reps, had two reps I trained at RainSoft make #1 worldwide. I made it to the top 5 multiple times for personal sales as well, while also managing a sales team of upto 21 people. Was the 8th Sales manager Knighted into Rainsoft for increasing production more than 50% within 6 months of assuming a sales management position. Specialties: Sales Training, motivational seminars
