Our Fractional Sales Managers

Noel Ledermann

After a career in marketing, sales, and sales leadership, Noel joined Sales Manager Now. His more than 30 years of leadership experience at Pfizer Animal Health/Zoetis prepared him to bring the structure, compassion, and leadership that our clients count on.

In my last year with Zoetis, my team adopted the mantra, Create Change.  We simply put forth the idea that we couldn’t stand on our past success alone in a competitive environment.  We needed to constantly find ways to do things differently when needed, with the idea that we can always improve—even if just by a little. I joined Sales Manager Now because I saw that our role is to help our client sales teams keep improving to help the business grow.” Noel

You’ll find Noel to be an observant and insightful person who can interact with just about anyone from your newest to the most senior salesperson.

Joel Russo

Joel Russo

After a career in sales and sales leadership, Joel joined Sales Manager Now. His more than 33 years of leadership experience in Medical Device companies at Covidien, Smith & Nephew, and Johnson & Johnson, as well as startup companies SurgRx, and Minerva Surgical, prepared him to bring experience in Sales Leadership, CRM, Motivation, Coaching, Mentoring, and Strategy to mention a few.

I keep it simple: “Don’t sell Tylenol until you have uncovered the headache first!” Second: “If you call or email me, I will answer, call you back, or email you ASAP!” Every business has competition. In this new world, we live in, we can increase sales and market share by adopting these two simple mantras. I joined Sales Manager Now to help our client sales teams improve their close rate, manage their time, increase sales, and build market share.”

You’ll find Joel to be an articulate, perceptive, and understanding person who can interact with anyone from your newest to the most senior salesperson.

Two key ingredients have made this management model successful: genuine care, enjoyment of working with salespeople and business owners, and the commitment to work with fewer clients to provide more personalized attention.
