About
Founded & Managed by Gene Carlin
With over 30 years of sales and marketing experience in financial services, building products, pharmaceutical and medical device sales, our diverse background has one common theme. Our virtual sales organization can help your company grow sales and revenue, and our commitment is to your success. We house a variety of skilled personnel ready to be deployed on your behalf to increase your sales reach and footprint. Your firm does not need to hire, train, or manage personnel. We do it for you and it’s so simple! After a strategy session, we will have clearly defined parameters, and a plan to execute sales and marketing lift in a timely fashion with measurable results.
In 1988, I made my first cold call with Shearson Lehman Brothers in Boston, and knew the sales industry was for me. Still an impressionable college student, I was blown away that after making a phone call, sharing a compelling investment opportunity, that someone you never met before would not only listen, but become a client! The seed of virtual sales had been planted. I spent the next 30 years not only in the financial services markets, but representing companies in almost every vertical and industry. During that time period, I’ve mastered the Sandler Submarine selling model, the Action Selling model- becoming a Certified Inside Sales Person (CISP) teacher and mentor, and over the last 5 years, the Challenger sales model, just to name a few. The foundation of American Sales Team incorporates all these different methodologies and experience designed to become your virtual sales organization. It does not matter what your industry or product offering, together we can work out a plan to make your company great.
