Business Development & Bank Liaison

Mike Davenport

This is a cool place to be here at Ellis-Harper. It’s sure a world different from my 112 years of sales, and sales and marketing management in the banking services, pharmaceutical and medical products arenas. Selling ideas and services isn’t quite like selling a product. What they have in common is that at the bottom line, you’re selling trust. That we will be good, honest partners and that we have the expertise to deliver on our promise.

My job is to make connections, kind of a Match.com between EHA and the kinds of companies that fit. So, drugs and devices be damned! Let’s get out there and sell some trust. Some ideas! Some Twitter, LinkedIN and blogs –just as soon as I find out what those are.

P.S. It’s great that my true talents are utilized at EHA. When a heavy object needs to be lifted, a fluorescent starts flickering15- feet up, or we need begonias planted in front of the sign, guess who. After all, I’m part of a full service agency.
