Career Development Partners is pleased to announce that Rick Coltman has joined their staff as the Director of Business Development. Rick has over 30 years of sales and marketing experience, 20 of which were in strategic management positions for small to mid-size businesses. His strengths are in the area of leading and building strong relationship networks, strategic sales and marketing consulting and implementation, training, and frankly — people just like the guy.
When asked how his past has prepared him for this role, Rick responded, “I was made for this kind of role, and my experience has certainly prepared me for helping businesses get the outcomes they need when it comes to hiring the right people, training for best practices and performance, and transitioning exiting employees — how to say ‘good-bye’ with dignity and grace.”
Travis Jones, CEO of Career Development Partners, commented that “Rick’s associations will advance our philosophy of providing world-class service for our clients and candidates.”
Rick recently worked for TRAK-1 Technology, as the Director of Strategic Marketing and Alliances, building key relationships for the company and developing marketing tools and messaging to their audiences. He has always been involved in building key and strategic relationships in a variety of industries throughout his career in marketing and sales of real estate, financial services, publishing, and in non-profits.
