REFERENCES

I am honored to provide a personal recommendation for Jaxson Hayley. I had the pleasure of hiring Jaxson at Arc Machines in 2014. Jaxson reported directly to me until my departure in 2015, at which time I named Jaxson as my replacement (VP of Sales and Business Development). This promotion was made official by the CEO and Board of Directors.

During my time with Jaxson at AMI we worked very closely together and maintained a constant dialogue of communication. Jaxson was always on task, and stayed ahead of any customer problem that may arise. In my follow-up communications and visits directly with his customers, it was very apparent that Jaxson was a valuable lifeline for them, and they were always satisfied with his ability to support their needs.

Jaxson is a business professional and man of great character. I always valued his opinion and applaud his eagerness to thrive at everything he does. I believe that Jaxson would be a valuable asset to any organization

For any questions or for additional information about my experiences with Jaxson, please feel free to contact me at any time.

President/Managing Director

Please accept this letter as a personal and professional character reference for Mr. Jaxson Hayley. I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Jaxson while he was serving as Vice President of Sales for Arc Machines, Inc. in Pacoima, CA. As an integral member of the Executive Leadership Team, Jaxson was responsible for establishing an overall sales strategy while monitoring the various industry channels and driving Arc Machines to profitable growth.

When Jaxson joined Arc Machines in 2014, he took on substantial professional challenges with great success. Prior to his arrival, our sales strategy was in a poorly managed state of disarray; some customers had not been contacted in years, active customers were not made aware of new developments in products and face-to-face contact was rare. Jaxson was a very dramatic stabilizing force for Arc Machines by implementing very methodical and focused sales actions. I watched him listen to the ideas of the Sales team and use their experiences to formulate successful strategies that helped Arc Machines achieve greater market share and increased sales. Jaxson’s high level of expertise and mentoring leadership style earned him the respect of everyone in the company.

Organized and diligent, Jaxson is truly a quality individual with a tremendous work ethic and passion for sales and customer service. It is without reservation that I highly recommend Jaxson Hayley for any company looking for a distinguished and accomplished Sales leader to guide them to greater success.
