On the Road Again!                      
The Life and Times of Bob Voss

REFERENCES

“Bob Voss is the consummate professional, and I have had the pleasure of being both a business associate and personal friend for a number of years. Bob combines old-world, customer-friendly service with the aggressive pursuit of sales and relentless follow-through required to be successful in today's challenging markets and economic climate. Always ready for a new challenge, Bob is a team builder, leader and motivator with a wealth of knowledge in the commercial vehicle industry, and a vast network of contacts developed over his career through a number of personal and professional organizations. The only thing that gives Bob more satisfaction than building a winning team is growing a company's market share. I can't think of anyone else I would rather have in the lead sales or marketing position of any industrial or manufacturing company.”

“I have known and worked with Bob since he started with Watson and Chalin Mfg. My experience and main contacts had always been on the truck side of our business. Bob has taught me a great deal about the trailer business and introduced me to a large number of contacts, all of whom genuinely like Bob as a person and respect his knowledge. I have met few, if any, other people in my industry that have the contacts that Bob has. Great guy to work with.”

Ted Griffin, Southwest Regional Manager, Watson & Chalin Mfg

“Bob has been a tremendous asset to Watson & Chalin Mfg's continual success. Many years ago W&C Mfg was a Truck focused supplier. However, as a Marketing Mgr, Bob has managed and helped grow our Trailer portion of the business from infancy to a major portion of total sales. The feedback I receive from other sales personnel reiterates the success Bob has brought to the bottom line of W&C Mfg. Bob's personality, experience and most importantly his desire to drive results higher today then yesterday are an asset that will make him a success, no matter the venture with which he is involved.”

I am pleased to write a recommendation for Bob Voss. Over the 20+ years I've known him, Bob has shown himself to have the unique attributes of a fully-dedicated, conscientious, customer-oriented representative  combined with clear loyalty and dedication to his employer - Bob knows that somewhere between those two spheres there's a deal to be made that will benefit all parties. He's personable and attentive to detail. Although we worked in different areas, I know Bob had the complete respect of his colleagues and his managers.


Incidentally, for the record I was not the owner of TrailBraker Industries (as noted above) when Bob and
I worked together - I was the vice-President and General Manager of Fontaine Fifth Wheel Canada and
was in regular and fully open contact with the other Managers at that level, so Bob's performance and work ethic were very well known to me. I'm sure he'll be an asset to any company and I wish him well.”
