D3 Promotes New Director of Sales - Daryl Price

D3 has promoted Daryl Price to Director of Sales.  Daryl was previously employed by D3 as a Regional Sales Manager for the Kansas City office.  He will now be working out of the office located in Springfield, Missouri.  Daryl's new focus will be to support the sales force by providing them with knowledge and expertise that exists within the organization. He will continue to ensure that D3's sales team is equipped to understand and engage the client, understanding the pains and real world issues that exist in each organization. 

"For me this is the best of both worlds. I get to continue to be involved in the solution cycle and I also get to mentor people that I really enjoy being around. What sets D3 apart is that we, as sales people, really try to solve problems rather than simply push the software. We try to discover the source of pain that exists and then connect the client with our great Application Engineers to find a solution.  We really want to see our clients excel with the products, that is what is most rewarding," states Daryl Price, D3 Director of Sales.
