We are excited to introduce Brian Oliver to the Caliber team as our new Inside Sales Account Manager!
Can you tell us a little more about your work experience prior to joining the Caliber team?
Prior to joining the Caliber team I was working as a journalist in Manitoba. Communication and relationship building were invaluable in this profession and seem to translate rather well to my current inside sales position.
We are thrilled to welcome you as part of the team. Could you explain why you sought out the opportunity to join our team? What “sold” you on the position/what makes you the right fit?
I was looking for a career change and an old friend mentioned an opportunity with Caliber that seemed intriguing. The vibrant atmosphere and inclusive culture were the selling points for me personally. It is nice to be a part of an organization that is working towards a common goal with personnel who want to come to work.
Given your wealth of experience in Journalism, how would you consider your aforementioned experience and skills as a benefit to our existing and future security clientele?
During my time working as a journalist, I had the opportunity to communicate with numerous different people from all walks of life and developed a strong ability to think critically. Building relationships with sources was vital in order for me to obtain the necessary and relevant information/quotes. Relationship building and customer service is an important aspect of sales I am looking forward to the opportunity to forge more professional relationships.
Did you have any previous experience with or have any knowledge of Caliber’s video security monitoring services? What are your initials thoughts and impressions of how we are shaking up the industry?
I had no previous knowledge or experience with any sort of video monitoring security services. It has been fascinating to learn about Caliber’s approach when it comes to providing security solutions along with the technology developed to offer these services. It is exciting to be apart of an organization that is revolutionizing the industry.
It is a not so well kept secret that we are continuously pushing to develop new technological advancements, both via hardware, software and AI to set new standards for the security monitoring industry – what has gotten you excited, and how do you think this presents value to our clients?
My tech knowledge was (and still is) limited – but it has been fascinating to learn what Caliber is doing and the process involved. It really seems like this security solution is a no-brainer and I’m excited to see how Caliber’s methods are and will continue to affect the industry.
Data compilation is the next (latest?) billion dollar industry – I find the syncroReports platform rather intriguing because of this and am interested to see all of the potential uses of the mass amounts of data collected. But on a micro level – the ability for clients to easily and efficiently know what has been happening on site is just an additional measure that will surely add peace of mind. Sometimes you can’t put a price on that.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself! What do you like to do for fun? A hidden talent that would surprise people?
I like to golf… pretty good at bouncing a ball on a wedge.
