I am passionate about sales and providing an exceptional customer experience. Producing win-win deals, finding solutions that are overlooked by others, adding value, creating efficiencies, saving time, and saving money are my strong suits. I enjoy the thrill of driving my financial success based on my achievements. To me, being compensated for what you produce is the essence of business. Inspired by the fact that I could be rewarded for my performance rather than my degree or title, I jumped into sales headfirst. I honed my sales skills and then progressed into increasing levels of responsibility, including managing teams. I’ve even owned my own rep agency business. I may have been an engineer in another life because I love technical things and gadgets. I thrive on knowing my product inside and out - and my customers, too. As a manager, I lead my sales teams in having expert product and customer knowledge. Now, my employers and my customers’ businesses reap the rewards of my talents.Providing clients with extraordinary customer service is one of my specialties. I bring awareness to my clients, support their brand image and customer service, and enhance productivity by shining a light on hidden needs. If they are carrying a competitor’s line that has backorders and lax customer service, it is wasting their time and damaging their reputation to their customers. I make those problems go away. Understanding my customers by living in their shoes, along with under-promising and over-delivering, is my golden rule. I always find the answers. I always take their calls. I help them do their job better. I give them confidence, and they know they can trust me. Successfully landing the largest projects in the history of two of my employers are landmark sales successes in which I take great pride. My commitment to industry, customer and product expertise along with strategic sales planning, the coordination of multiple teams and players, and influencing decision-makers led to these highly celebrated achievements.Every year, I volunteer at the Masters Golf Tournament. Even though I am not an avid golfer, this opportunity gives me the chance to meet people from around the world. Being at the Masters is a bucket list item for many patrons, and I love that I play a part in them having a good time while they are there and going home thinking they have just participated is the finest sports experience in the world. After all, delivering an exceptional experience whether at work or play is what it’s all about.
