BIZDEV, MARKETING, AND SALES LEADER Resourceful and persuasive enough to get to The Academy Awards, brave enough to SCUBA dive with sharks, and often described as a โpit bull with charm,โ I lead teams to exceed sales and marketing objectives. Since I started recruiting extras for a film over 20 years ago, I have been a zealot for building relationships. I launched a campus as a start-up. I built, trained, and lead rock star teams to consistently meet and exceed recruitment and sales objectives. I helped rebuild an institution that was not only in danger of closing due to low enrollment, but also had challenges relating to reputation. I currently partner with agencies and creative firms in non-competing sectors and lead their new business development initiatives.SPECIALTIES:SALES & MARKETING - Consultative Selling, Sales Training, New Business Development, Launching Sales / New Business Development programs, Developing and Implementing Sales and New Business Strategy, Retention, Account ManagementRECRUITMENT - Recruiting, Recruitment Strategy and Communications, Building High-Performance TeamsI have built my career on being a matchmaker - connecting agencies with decision makers (CMOs, business owners, brand mangers, etc), students with colleges and universities, and dynamic candidates with awesome opportunities. I have the chutzpah of a New Yorker and the charm of a Midwesterner.I train and coach teams on getting their foot in the door, nurturing relationships that translate to sales, closing opportunities, and retaining business. I thrive in the frenetic energy of start-ups and metric-driven environments, and I'm passionate about employee engagement and culture. If you are an agency, perhaps you need to connect with decision markers to grow business and / or train your team to If you are an organization that needs to improve your recruiting and on-boarding process, this is where I come in. โ I run towards a challenge.โ I view "NO" as an opportunity for redirection. My motto is "you don't ask, you don't get." โ I don't manage people, I coach them.I am enamored with travel and adventure (54 countries, 6 continents โ including Antarctica โ and all but 2 states), love taking pictures, writing & video blogging about my adventures (Instagram ๐ท : Carriefilm). When not working or traveling, I enjoy reading / book clubs, yoga, movies, Leland Michigan (my soul place!), and spending time with my beloved Maltese puppy.Please reach out if you'd like to connect โ carrieshoemaker@gmail.com โบ www.carrieshoemaker.com
