My brain is fried from 2 hours sleep please wordsmith this sentence for me. I will be eternally grateful:

"Experience in defining unarticulated or incompletely defined customer needs and engineering creative commercial solutions to meet their needs"

sounds like a resume insert.....here's a shot b/c i think i know what youre trying to say:

do one of these two statements work:

1. Regarded as a change agent; consistently playing key roles in business redesign and human capital optimization in support of revenue, expense, and profit objectives.

2. Proven ability to create strong business relationships and consult management regarding the development of human capital and administration of appropriate risk management policies and practices for the firm.

I'd just shorten it.

"Experience in defining unarticulated or incompletely defined customer needs and engineering creative commercial solutions."

This is actually from a job description. I'm trying to tell people what I need. I really should have taken english more seriously in college. I remember the conversation like it was yesterday

Professor Jones: Bip you really should take english more seriously
Bip: Pfffff, dude, Imma be a sales guy, what the helle am I going to need English for(turns to friends)....You believe this f'in guy.
Bippity10 @ 6/2/2009 10:16 AM
Thanks for the suggestions.

Bip, you don't think unarticulated sounds a little harsh?

Not trying to correct you and I honestly am not even criticizing you. Just curious about your word choice.

That's a good point. I would change it to more of a "positive." Maybe something like:

"Experience refining and articulating costumer needs" OR
"Experience helping businesses to refine and articulate their customer needs"

why not just: We need creative sales people who actually ask customers questions, uncover needs and are intelligent enough to map that back to what we do with solutions we can deliver?

you want to put some thought into it and get your point across in a simple manner.

using lots of multi-syllable words will confuse most people.

Basically I threw some words on a piece of paper with little thought other than what I was trying to say and then posted it on this website and expected you guys to fix it.......that's how I roll.
