While at OneCoast, some of my responsibilities included strengthening existing retailer relationships, growing business by way of new account acquisition, and strategically sourcing products. This included communicating costs and contracts details, negotiating, forecasting sales, and tracking trends for Fortune 500 Retailers. In addition to managing Key Account Retail sales, I also traveled extensively overseas to validate potential suppliers, educate our Key Account teams, and present to Directors the benefits of building business globally.
