At Kognitive Marketing, one of Canada's fastest-growing marketing firms specializing in one-on-one experiential sales for major brands like Canadian Tire, BMO, and Tim Hortons, I held two key roles.First, as Sales Manager, I spearheaded multiple sales campaigns promoting Canadian Tire's loyalty and credit products in the Greater Toronto and Ottawa areas, as well as remotely managing the Northern Ontario and Saskatchewan regions.

During my tenure, some of my most notable achievements included exceeding regional targets during the 2015 final quarter company challenge to gain 60,000 new credit card acquisitions by building relationships with store management, allowing for longer events.

I also created a performance metrics system that led to increased new hire retention and great sales performance upon graduation. Furthermore, I oversaw the implementation of a completely new recruitment process, including software transition.
