Baker Steve Email & Phone Number

I am currently searching for a new opportunity that will allow me to utilize the skills I’ve developed over the years in management and sales. The cumulative history I have as a company-employed wholesale representative in the women's ready-to-wear industry (15+ years) in tandem with another 20 years dedicated to the spirit wear business qualifies me as a valued candidate for any company seeking an individual of my particular abilities and skills.As a young sales rep I learned many years ago that communication is a vital, if not the key component in developing prospects into new clients, maintaining and growing active accounts and, of course, creating new sales opportunities with both. Through time, I became proficient in many areas; some of which are:*Building Strong brand awareness in multiple markets with multiple product lines*Product forecasting seasonal / yearly “in & out” strategies*Developing innovative PR strategies to effectively reach target audience*Expert consultative sales & product presentation skills*And more, which can be outlined and discussed during a personal interviewI would welcome the opportunity to expand on these ideas and more with anyone who wishes to contact me by email or phone. Thank you for taking the time to read over my profile, and I look forward to hearing about new opportunities.

Listed skills include Retail, Embroidery, Sportswear, Strategic Planning, and 11 others.
