I administered the relationship between ALMO (distributor) and the New England Appliance and Electronics Group (buyer), while increasing sales for the Samsung Home Appliance Division. The New England Appliance and Electronics Group is comprised of over 150 independent appliance & electronics store fronts. I managed all of these accounts and continuously developed relationships with these retailers in order to create a stronger brand presence for Samsung in the marketplace. Through negotiations and strategic business planning with store owners I was able to increase Samsung’s floor share, which helped yield positive sales results for Samsung and our partners.

I began my tenure with the Samsung Home Appliance Division as a Field Market Representative. I developed the Samsung Appliance brand name in the New England market through constant interaction with our retail partners. Preparing formal product training events & trade shows was a large reason for this success. Offering exceptional customer service also factored into the brand's positive development in the New England area. After 2 years of continued sales growth, while managing the largest market in the United States, I was promoted to North East District Market Manager. In the new position, added responsibilities that I accepted were: travel to other markets to train and on-board new Samsung Field Market Representatives, formulate monthly newsletters for our retail partners, lead product training initiatives via weekly conference calls, and brainstorm ideas with my Regional Manager to stimulate consumer engagement.

In my role as a Local Store Marketer I was responsible for building and maintaining relationships with local businesses & non-profits to drive sales for Uno Chicago Grill. I began marketing for the Swampscott location, and after continued sales success, the General Manager from the Revere location requested that I join his team to assist them with their business development strategy. My interaction with non-profit organizations was very rewarding. I was able to learn about their missions, assist them with their fund raising endeavors, and also channel new business into Uno for a good cause. I was also connected to local business leaders and offered them benefits to conduct their meetings at our restaurants. My business development for these two restaurant was exceptional as I was always ranked #1 or #2 in quarterly restaurant sales across the district.

While acting as a property tour guide, I was able to generate buyer interest for upscale real estate developments at various locations in Massachusetts. I also collected & programmed prospective customer data into our computer archives to create a better understanding of our client base. Analyzing this data keyed us into a more efficient and effective marketing strategy while searching for new customers.
