Paul Goossens

Regional Sales Manager at Standard Abrasives

Chino Hills, California, United States

About

I have been involved in sales and sales management for over 35 years. I have sold in five different industries and managed people at the retail and wholesale levels. I received awards for having the highest sales, highest sales increase, and the highest profit margin growth. I have a California teaching credential and find sales to be very similar to teaching. As sales people, we educate customers about the products we sell, their applications, our ability to service the customer and their needs, and most importantly we sell ourselves. Specialties: Managing and working with people.
