Managed relationships with Parker EMDN’s (now Parker EMC) distributors and direct customers in N. California and W. Nevada. I interfaced with customers to discuss applications, address concerns, and networked with them across the territory to find opportunities that Parker EMDN could help solve.Utilized Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools to streamline the pre-sale process, and conduct account management within the sales channels as a customer advocate. I assisted with applications they were working on throughout the "pre-sale" process just as I did in the Applications role prior, covering all the same product; additionally ensured processes for ongoing accounts continued at an acceptable pace. Conducted trainings for distributors on our electromechanical offerings.
