In this role, my primary responsibility was to generate leads by targeting residential areas affected by hailstorms. Our approach involved sending a door-to-door sales team to offer homeowners a free, independent damage assessment of their property, conducted by a professional, to compare with their home insurance adjuster's claim assessment.Upon homeowner approval, we gathered their relevant information using our door-to-door sales team and managed the data through CRM software (Insightly). I was responsible for designing and executing the MailChimp campaign to position Fresh Start Inc as a homeowner advocate, working alongside insurance adjusters to negotiate the maximum eligible claim value.Our profit was derived from the difference between the cost of repairing roofing, siding, and gutters and the home insurance claim value. This approach often resulted in significant cashback for the customer while maintaining a profit margin for the company.

At Yorkton Group, I was responsible for selling shares in a project called Ridgemont Estates, a 104-acre parcel of unserviced land on Baseline Road in Sherwood Park, Alberta.As a commission-only sales hunter, my primary focus was developing referral sources and selling divided ownership interests in various real estate development projects. Ridgemont Estates was the main project I worked on. Investors purchased each acre for $21,000 and were registered on the land title as owning 1/104. The funds raised were used to service the land and develop the property in residential lots.As each serviced lot was sold, dividends were distributed proportionally based on the number of shares owned by each investor. By selling unserviced lands to raise capital, we could service the land and add value by selling serviced lots to our development company, which subsequently built homes on the property.

At 17, I gained valuable experience in new vehicle sales by quickly building rapport, maintaining honesty, and fostering comfortable, pressure-free customer conversations.
