While this is not a particularly startling
comment, just reading the accomplishments of Bob Alexander
fatigues most people. Bob has excelled in almost every
aspect of his life. As an outstanding high school student
who consistently won honors, Bob carried that tradition
into his college career where he excelled as a dean's
list student, karate instructor and brigade commander
in ROTC.
Bob's desire to help other people led
him into the field of education. He was a winning teacher,
coach, and high school administrator who learned from
experience the challenges students and teachers face.
He was selected as an "Outstanding Young Man of
America" in recognition of his professional achievements
and his superior leadership ability combined with exceptional
service to his community.
To fulfill his goals for personal growth,
Bob left education to take on the challenge of sales.
During his first year of selling he was Rookie Salesman
of the Year and broke the all time rookie sales record
at his company. He was soon promoted to area sales manager
where he was recognized for being the second highest
producer in the nation. His leadership skills enabled
his area to become the top producing group in the nation.
After being promoted to regional sales manager and then
senior regional sales manager, Bob continued to receive
accolades and awards. His "top producing regional
manager in the nation" award, and top producing
"senior regional manager in the nation" award
resulted in him being named the company's national sales
manager.
As national sales manager, Bob prospected,
hired, trained, motivated, scheduled conferences, selected
product lines, established sales territories, and helped
sales people develop and achieve goals for themselves
and their organization. Because of his excellence in
this position, Bob soon became vice-president of sales,
where he helped literally hundreds of people achieve
more than they ever thought possible.
Zig Ziglar invited Bob to join his team
in 1988 because Bob is a proven winner. After only sixteen
months, he became the number one salesperson at the
Zig Ziglar Corporation by setting a rookie sales record
that still stands today. In 1990, he was promoted to
general sales manager where his leadership skills and
knowledge of the sales industry helped expand corporate
sales.
Today, as President of The Alexander
Resource Group, Bob continues traveling the country
sharing his knowledge and experience, helping salespeople,
customer service representatives, sales managers, business
executives, and educators improve their attitudes, develop
self-confidence, set specific goals, and live their
dreams.
