As a Coca Cola Sales Representative I have been responsible for almost 300 accounts across Nuneaton, Bedworth and Hinckley.

During my time at Coca Cola my role has included the following:• Retaining existing business.• Building strong customer relationships across my call file.• Activating new equipment contracts.• Prospecting new business and installing new equipment.• Maximising sales on site by installing new equipment, merchandising to planogram and activating promotions with in outlet.• Achieving 100% call coverage.• Driving volume through transfer orders and increasing the product range across direct delivered sites.• Resolving equipment at risk issues, working closely with HO and contractors to reduce these.• Building strong relationships with local wholesalers.Although only working for Coca Cola for a short period of time I have achieved some great results, with my results to date performing much higher than the national averages. I have driven this success by demonstrating some key wins across my territory in all environments. More recently I have been given the responsibility of looking after a number multiple operating groups (MACE GROUP & MICHAELS FOODMARKETS) whilst working closely with National Key Account Managers. I have achieved these wins by being very self-motivated and driven. I have prided myself on getting stuck in to any challenge that has been put infront of me, and always strive to do that bit extra in order to achieve company and personal goals.Results: KPI’s 2014 –• Grow the product range by 14% - Achieved 31% growth – Sales Rep Ranking 9th out of 600 across GB.• Increase space within outlet by 4.6% - Achieved 9.8% increase – Sales Rep Ranking 17th out of 600 across GB. • Activate Point of Sale/Promotions visibility by 28% - Achieved 75% - Sales Rep Ranking 31st out of 600 across GB.

As Head Professional I have been in charge of a small team chosen by myself. The professional shop is the first point of contact for members, visitors and corporate companies so it is imperative that the customer service is of a very high standard. During my time at Ingon Manor I have helped increase the membership by on average 6 new members a month. I have also improved the turnover of visitors and societies, by restructuring the pricing plan and seeking new opportunities with innovative ideas. Running alongside my role within the club I have also been running the club shop with a turnover of about £80,000 per annum.The “Andy Barton Golf Academy” was set up when I started at Ingon Manor. During this time I have increased my coaching from zero to an average of 50 – 60 lessons per week. The large majority of these lessons have been people who are not members of Ingon Manor. This has been done with an effective marketing campaign. Many of these new customers to my Academy have then been converted to new members, people paying green fees or even having a corporate golf day.

The Stuart Bottrill Golf Academy is a first class teaching academy based in the West Midlands offering coaching, mentoring and education to clients of all golfing abilities. I am a Warwickshire County Academy Coach, which means I have been responsible for identifying young talent within the county and providing unique coaching packages to these children with the aim of feeding the county squads. To compliment this I have been involved in providing golf programme's to many of the mainstream schools across Birmingham and solihull in conjunction with Golf Roots and England golf, with the aim of introducing children to golf and providing clear pathways to a future in the game. Whilst working for the academy I have also had the privilege of coaching children with special needs and disabilities at local schools and back at the club, and more recently writing my own junior programme (golfzone Journey) which has now been launched at 4 different venues across the midlands. In addition to coaching my role has involved working in the club shop at Shirley Golf Club having sole responsibility for selling, green fees, stock control across 5 shops, club competitions, members’ handicaps & using Club 2000 software.

Lilleshall Hall Golf Club is private cub established in 1937. My time at Lilieshall was a valuable stepping stone in the development of my golfing career. I was responsible for establishing the clubs links with the Golf foundation and co-ordinating the delivery of junior group coaching sessions in accordance with the golf passport scheme. In addition to junior coaching I coached ladies groups and one on one lessons.

Before pursuing my passion of becoming a golf professional I completed a modern apprenticeship in engineering specialising in design of multi-purpose specialist machinery and industrial cleaning equipment using 3D computer aided design packages.
