        Drew has met and exceeded sales goals since he started with ADP.  He has consistently been one of the top performers in the group and qualified for President's Club last year.  Drew is always chosen to mentor and teach new team members because of his extensive understanding of the solution he represents.  I would highly recommend Drew for any sales opportunity and I am confident that he would surpass performance goals.
