As a motivated Brand Manager and Manufacturing Sales Rep, I enjoy building relationships with customers and partners. My collaborative approach has been vital in driving brand awareness and sales. With a strong work ethic and customer-first approach, I drive clients' brands while strategically positioning Vapor Apparel for continued success. At Vapor Apparel, I work closely with regional and national brands and accounts to deliver custom apparel solutions. Vapor Apparel is known for its performance-focused, sustainable clothing, particularly in outdoor and activewear. I collaborate with clients on custom and private label products, ensuring their brand vision aligns seamlessly with our high-quality, sun-protection garments. By leveraging our digital printing technologies and eco-friendly fabrics, I help clients expand their brand's presence while supporting Vapor Apparel's growth through strategic partnerships.As a former entrepreneur, I owned two specialty apparel and sneaker boutiques in downtown Charleston, SC, gaining valuable insights into brand development, merchandising, and sales. Today, I bring that same entrepreneurial mindset and customer-driven focus to my role. I leverage my skills to elevate revenue and influence decision-makers. The skills that allow me to deliver impactful results in both brand development and sales management include:✅ BRAND DEVELOPMENT — I partner with accounts to provide unique, tailored products that reflect their values and identity, which helps companies, nonprofits, and other organizations develop their brand, foster brand loyalty, and expand market reach.✅ B2B & B2C SALES — Since 2005, I have worked in B2B sales, managing the entire sales cycle. As an earlier entrepreneur, I sold B2C. Now, I share my knowledge and retail experience with accounts as a trusted advisor. ✅ CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP & ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT — I enjoy meeting new people, understanding their needs, and finding ways to work together. I thrive on connecting, fostering trust, and building relationships. Through open communications, I ensure long-term partnerships and enhance customer satisfaction. ✅ MARKETING EVENTS & TRADESHOWS — My experience includes generating leads, amplifying brands at tradeshows, and planning/executing store and community events that draw global brands and national attention.
