A Message from the President



Summer Inspiration

As sales and marketing people all of us are drawn to inspirational people, places and things. I so enjoyed last month reading and listening to many commencement speeches. They connect with the soul. Here is a list of 10 that I thought you may enjoy also. The Most Inspiring Graduation Day Speeches of 2023.


Which one is your favorite? Mine was by Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine at Johns Hopkins University. He said “Time is the most valuable resource on the planet. Some people realize this sooner. Others realize it too late.” Based on that, we at Marketing and Sales Executives of Detroit realize how important your time is and know when we ask you to share your time with us, we want to be sure it is meaningful to you. That is why our MSE Detroit Meet and Greet gatherings are so important. It is our opportunity to share thoughts with like-minded individuals and share inspiration, connections, and fascinating conversations.


Hope you will join us:

Member Spotlight


Wendy Stahl


Sales Executive

Varipro

MSE Detroit Member


I have over 23 years’ experience working for Third Party Benefit Administrators. Starting as a claims analyst with NGS American, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, moving to the Claims Manager at BCI, in Farmington Hills, to becoming an Account Manager and then being promoted to Sales Executive at Varipro in 2021, in the Novi branch office. I really owe my success to a great mentor, Janice Carroll, Owner and President of BCI, for teaching me how to really dig in to plans and how to interpret them on my own. She forced me to develop well thought out solutions before I reached out for her guidance. She believed in me and gave me the opportunity to manage the claims department and in turn, mentor others to watch them grow in their careers. Now, starting my 5th year at Varipro, where in 2022, I exceeded the Company sales for both 2020 and 2021 combined.


I worked for Hilton for 11 years, as a Customer Service and Sales trainer. There I strengthened my people skills and continued to mentor others. I helped create excellent learning programs while helping to develop some of the most talented sales and service personnel in the hospitality industry.


My top personal achievements include competing in 2 sprint triathlons in Florida. Happy just to have completed them without being eaten by an alligator. I am a mother of 3 sons and a daughter, and grandmother to 4 beautiful grandsons (can we please get a girl). I continue to stay active and regularly challenge myself. I have plans for a “dryathlon” which includes a kayak leg with my partner, instead of a swim.


"I have made so many meaningful connections in the short time I have been part of MSE Detroit. I felt so welcomed at the very first meeting, as a new member. I immediately met so many well connected business professionals, who were willing to share their knowledge with me. There literally is no competition between members, just the willingness to share and help myself and others succeed."
