Identifying and capturing new business opportunities is one of the many areas where I have excelled as a sales leader. I offer a steady record in opening new accounts, creating effective sales programs, training personnel, and accelerating growth with innovative solutions. Always aware of competitive strategies and changing market demands, I routinely outmaneuvered others and gained market share in B2B environments. My expertise includes proposals, negotiations, customer service, sales training and new product launches. My experience spans both domestic and international sales and I have managed over 100 direct and independent sales personnel. As Director of Sales for a sportswear company, I managed sales in the U.S. and Canada, and generated double-digit increases the last four consecutive years. I also negotiated and opened the company’s largest account, Dillard’s.
