What others are saying about Dave Rotella:

Adam Cole ... CEO of Cole Health

Dave helped our organization through numerous growth challenges. Upon his

initial hiring, he provided a structure to our sales teams that was lacking

previously. Dave is a highly motivated energetic worker and is truly a

genuine and honest person

Paul Guth ... former CEO, Artromick International

David was instrumental in driving increased revenue opportunities by

transitioning Artromick from direct sales to a channel sales model. His

unique ability to unite the executive team towards a common goal for

channel distribution points to his graceful style and tactful execution to

achieve positive results

Jeff Strickler CFO, Artromick International - Capsa Solutions

Dave led our growing acute care sales division throughput his tenure with

the company. Dave is an individual of the highest quality and earned the

respect of his coworkers. Dave would be a valuable asset to any

organization and I recommend him without reservations.

Don Lanyi ... former direct report JTECH

During the five years I worked for David he became not only my mentor but,

someone whom I looked to emulate in not only my professional but, personal

life. David's ability to always exhibit professionalism in his business

dealings was something I always strived to recreate in my daily activities.

More importantly, it was David's caring and positive attitude that helped

to grow his team into the most cohesive and successful group of

professionals I have ever been associated with.

David Grimes ... #1 2010 representative for Capsa Solutions

Dave is a great communicator both verbally and via electronic means. His

always upbeat attitude and his openness fostered a thriving high

performance mentality for his sales people. He also always wanted to "do

the right thing" for the customer, so any disputes were always handled with

the company and the customer in mind. Also the sales people always felt

Dave had each sales rep's best interest at heart as decisions were made on

commissions or territories.

Dave can also be a great mentor to inexperienced sales people as he coached

me through some large, difficult sales we closed during the last two years.

Also I can't state more clearly, the guy has an incredible work ethic and

energy. He always put in 12 hour work days and some weekend follow-up the

whole two years we were together.

Doug Shellabarger #1 SE Regional Representative JTECH

It was David's vision, experience, and his ability to challenge and

motivate his sales force which led to this success and to his being

promoted to the Director of Sales and Business Development for JTECH

Steve Ely, former JTECH Sr. VP of Sales and a current CEO

One thing that continuously mystified me about Dave is that you'd ask him

to take on an assignment, and he always found a way to either meet and or

exceed expectations. Not sure how he sometimes accomplished it but he

seemed to always succeed.
