Meet the Team - Michelle Priceman

Michelle came to PTS at a time when businesses across all sectors were showing increased interest in RFID solutions. With 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, including a stint as director of her own marketing firm, Michelle has established some basic principles for dealing with all types of accounts in every business climate.

Helping clients discover the various ways PTS can help their businesses is, for Michelle, the most satisfying part of her job. As Michelle enjoys learning PTS’s products herself, the bridge that connects her to client needs is, in a word, “Communication.” As she puts it, “Customer problem solving and solution building is something I’ve done all my adult life. Talking to clients to get to the heart of what they need is second nature to me.”

“We could have employed a program developer, but we saw that as a huge cost for our business and one that would continue for years during the changing demands of tracking honey from the paddock hive to the consumer shelf. We came across the excellent TracerPlus website and were very impressed with how flexible and easy it was to program compared to our previous arrangement.”
