“As a veteran sales rep of almost 15 years, I had the privilege to work with Jim Scelfo on a consulting basis during Q1 of 2018. Despite my long and successful background in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry, Jim brought some innovative and alternative ideas to the table that I hadn’t used, or quite frankly, thought of. He has a great grasp of what clicks when presenting products, services and concepts to potential buyers, and he gives you the tools you need to win over even the most reluctant customers.
