Took a gap year prior to university to establish a new business in conjunction with Gaylord Hardwood Flooring. This business was established to cater to new consumers in a particular target market. From opening day in January until August 2011 I became the leading salesman with over $400,000 in sales. My current status with the company is to develop innovative marketing strategies to increase sales in different markets. My most recent project consisted of creating www.gaylordflooringonline.com, where the company has taken away boundaries and increased sales in markets across North America. The implementation of the new online store also followed by changing the store experience and point of sale system, entirely using iPads for checkout. The entire process gives the customer the reassurance they are making the right choice when it comes to such an important purchase.
