As Account Manager, I was responsible for meeting and exceeding individual sales budget and territory growth goals while providing outstanding value and service to Direct Supply customers. I was able to manage continuous customer contact and develop long-term buying relationships with individual customers and with facilities. An intense three week training period allowed me to develop a strong understanding of Direct Supply products and services. This training also made me understand the operations of a health care facility including: budgeting process, state survey process, department roles and responsibilities, resident profiles, levels of care, and the decision-making process. All of this helped me make effective use of all selling tools, systems, and technology as well as coordinate with internal departments to respond quickly to customer needs, requests, and problems. During my tenure at Direct Supply, I was able to expand and grow an East Coat Territory that had not been worked for over two years. Within my first few months, I had achieved the most sales in a division of 350+ Account Managers for a budgeted month. I continued to meet budget and establish relationships with customers all over the East Coast.
