Smart Wireless allowed me to grow personally and professionally so that I could stand out when looking for a career in developing people. Smart Wireless's culture and passion of promoting from within allowed me to establish myself as a decorated sales leader early in my career. At Smart Wireless I was promoted to a District Sales Manager in January of 2008 where I was responsible for the sales and operations of 4 retail locations. In quick time my territory expanded all the way to 16 stores where I was in charge of sales, sales training, recruiting, and rep/manager development. There were many opportunities for me to expand my influence from just being a leader in sales - whether it was teaching myself Excel and PowerPoint and developing company sales reports to track performance and incentive results or creating a company-wide customer service campaign called "Shoe String Service" which helped Smart reach nationally recognized customer service scores. My job description could be categorized as all-inclusive but where I found the most joy and most success was arousing enthusiasm in my employees and helping people find joy and passion in everything that they do - that is why I was so blessed to be able to be a part of one of the 100 BEST companies in Oregon to work for from 2006-2014.
