Michael Rutherford has been a significant mentor to me in the field of restaurant POS technology and Operations and I recommend him as a valuable asset to any company. He is one of the most task-oriented and focused people I have ever worked with, and excels in doing all due diligence in order to effectively and successfully reach goals and win sales. Michael understands the nuances of doing business and combines that with his years in the field to bring a unique and acute perspective to every process. His inherent drive and competitive nature means that a solution is always possible, the answer is always yes, and he will always see things through to the very end.

Michael understands the meaning of parternship and synergy. His ability to communicate, his follow-up and follow-through and his integrity lead me to the recommendation of this individual.

Michael brought both a great deal of organization and structure to the Los Angeles Sales department. His tenacity and great attention to detail have helped all of us attain better overall results. I am certain that wherever Michael lands he will contribute outstanding results to that Organization. Michael’s marketing skills are not only transferrable to any other POS or Automation company but to any business Organization in the Marketplace.

Michael has a brilliant personality and always uses it to develop better personal relationships, which is why he is respected almost immediately by those he comes in contact with. His attention to detail and ability to prioritize/address the important issues for his sales team has always had a supernatural aura about it. I recommend Michael because he has a desire to excel personally and influences others to do the same.

Michael Rutherford is the hardest working man in America! His attention to detail is extraordinary; his loyalty to his position and his company is unquestionable. Although he was subordinate to me, he taught me many things about the sales and business development processes. If anyone wants an employee who is not afraid to express his opinion, who will run through a wall for you, who will implement your company objectives, do not waiver and do not delay; HIRE THIS MAN!

Ed managed Michael J at SDCR Business Systems/ Reseller for Radiant Systems

Michael is the definitive example of the Sales Manager: he is a remarkable trainer and manager of his supervised personnel; he is a systems guru; he is encyclopedic in his knowledge of the hospitality business; he is a motivator and leader-by-example; and he consistently goes far beyond the ‘bare minimum’ in ensuring the success of his employees and his employers. His work ethic is nothing short of extraordinary.

Michael was my mentor and guide as I entered into a wholly new area of our business – sales. Through his efforts I emerged (I like to think!) as a confident, capable and effective member of the SDCR team. I have found myself quoting him as I have moved forward in my career, as a manager of personnel myself.

I dare say he would be a valued asset not only to those that employ him, but also to those that he supervises. I would be happy to work with him again, and will look forward to our paths crossing in the future, professionally or socially.

My name is Josh Levy and I had the pleasure of working under Michael Rutherford for over a year. When I first entered into the world of outside sales, I had no prior sales experience. Through Michael’s tutalidge I was able to learn processes, techniques, and orginizational skills that I will take with me throughout my career. I look forward to my continued relationship with Michael and know that I will be able to call upon him for advise both in work and life. He will be a great asset for any company lucky enough to have him.

I had the pleasure to work with Michael during my employment with Jadeon. Michael was a sales manager for the greater S.F. Bay area while I was a sales representative in Southern California. From my first interaction with Michael, I was impressed most notably with his depth of knowledge and his commitment not only to the POS industry but to individual clients as well. Michael is very disciplined and manages the entire sales process most proficiently. I believe than he is genuinely concerned about finding the best solution for a prospective client showing integrity and depth of character that can sometimes be difficult to find.

Rusty worked with Michael J at Jadeon Inc. /Acquired by Radiant Systems

When it comes to sales, Michael is a rare breed. He’s bright and persuasive, but he’s also a class act both personally and professionally. He gets behind products he believes in, but won’t push something if he knows it’s not in the client’s best interest. We have worked together to assist several of his POS customers and his follow-up has been impeccable. If you’re looking for someone to build a long-term business relationship with, Michael is the person to work with.
