Talents
-
Pitching Decision Makers - Closing sales by explaining complex technologies
to non-technical decision makers.
Example, explaining how fixing IPREV/TLS/SPF/DKIM/DMARC breakage can produce
huge profit uplifts.
-
Creating Sale Teams/Trainings - One business I started and ran
for 20 years was Radical Health. This business shipped Super Foods
globally.
I created a sales training system for 500+ active dealers reselling these
products. Obfuscation systems were used making it impossible for
competitors to duplicate product recipes or the dealer sales process.
-
Creating Missing Email Service Tools - Example, most
DMARC services only report problems.
I developed a realtime SPF patching service
that flattens records and injects missing IPs into SPF records, because
100% of ESPs/CRMs I've tested over 20+ years have either intermittent or
persistent breakage due to
published SPF include blocks missing valid sending IPs.
-
Creating Missing Wordpress Performance Tools - Example, analyzing
MySQL/MariaDB logs and internal table statistics to find/fix performance problems.
Passing data through A.I. to identify missing indexes, required custom plugin
code, Fail2ban filters and Apache redirect rules.
