While working for Cintas I mastered the technical sales process and my ability to find, research, present, and close new uniform rental business weekly. As a uniform sales professional I worked within budgeted quotas and sales needs. Every week I made 200 phone calls, 50 cold calls, 15 to 18 new presentations a week. I also designed, and ordered custom company emblems. Within my sales process I negotiated any product discounts, changes, or contract amendments. I have had to learn the contracts of other vendors and master the art of coaching clients into a new more attractive contract. I am highly organized and can present over 30 different types of garments. I have mastered the art of selling to the requirements of my prospects and excel at competing in a heated competitive sales environment. I sold to many large big box and retail channels such as Showa Denko, Mead West, and Jiffy Lube. The reason for my end of employment was a company wide lay off.

Succesfully managed and created new corporate relationships with companies like Kraft Foods, WalMart, and Nike. I was responsible for finding new business and creating corporate partnerships with big box stores and smaller companies that were in need of new function space or overnight rates. Strategically negotiated room rates, function space and discounts.
