"A trusted and valued partner"​; "delivering top-notch customer service"​; "a team player": are just a few of the comments colleagues and customers have used to describe me. I am a highly motivated and entrepreneurial sales leader, with extensive experience leading successful sales teams across a variety of territories. I am someone who gets results: For example, I optimized category performance and gained access to three new product categories, resulting in a 50% increase in business from key accounts to over $1M across a 69-store chain. Similarly, I developed and implemented a new pricing and sales strategy to integrate two product lines and create broader market coverage, resulting in a sales increase of 22%. I am not only someone who commands sales results: I command sustained results. For example, I developed and implemented marketing and sales initiatives that resulted in annual sales of 18% above forecast between the 2010 and 2012 fiscal years. I am an exceptional communicator, and employ a consultative sales strategy: team leadership, negotiation, and assessing client needs are all skills at which I excel. My abilities as a salesperson and sales manager have been consistently rewarded over the course of my 30-plus year career in the form of progressively more senior roles, and increased levels of responsibility. As a Director of Sales, I have overseen a team of 21 sales representatives located across Canada, and am now overseeing a team of 1 area manager, 4 account managers, and 40 merchandisers across the province of British Columbia as a Territory Manager. With well over fifteen years of sales management experience and a demonstrated track record of achieving sales targets, I strive to be an asset to my team, my organization, and my customers, and pride myself on my ability to develop lasting, mutually beneficial relationships.
