Edgar Rodriguez

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

Hello. My name is Edgar Rodriguez and this is my first post on my new blog. While I do plan on using this blog to report on many aspects of my life including family, this blog is mostly for making business connections, and knowledge sharing opportunities. If I met you at a networking event, you are one of my clients, partners, or you just stumbled across this blog through a search engine like Google, I, Edgar Rodriguez, welcome you and encourage you to subscribe to my RSS feed. You won’t regret it.

In an attempt to be as most relevant as possible, I will tell you what I have been involved in for the last two years since who we define ourselves as is always a defining process (doesn’t always include work). In this case, I will give you my professional background though.

Currently I am the VP of Sales at LeadMaverick, a web-based search engine optimization (SEO) platform that gets top page rankings quickly. We’ve had a lot of success and have brought in many partners. You see, we don’t actually sell our platform directly, but instead we provided agencies and individuals the opportunity to offer their clients a tool to enhance their own offerings.

Over the years I have been involved in a wide array of business verticals and industries. I have been to the top only to wipe the slate clean and start over. You see, I love the rush and excitement of starting a new business.
