I maintain and grow the Franz Family Bakeries book of business in the restaurant and institution as well as the retail side of the company. I add to my company's bottom line by covering all aspects of the sales process. I procure sales leads, cold call potential new customers, close the sale and set up new accounts. I maintain the existing book of business by building and maintaining relationships with local and regional chefs and managers. I interface with these decision makers to address new product changes, quality control concerns, pricing issues, and questions relating to local delivery service. I followed emerging market trends in the baked goods arena and endeavor to stay ahead of the next big thing. In addition to securing and closing new accounts for my company, in this position I train, develop and lead salesmen in selling bakery products to restaurants, institutional sales (school districts, government contracts), and all major retail chains in the Pacific Northwest. I interface with Store Managers at Fred Meyer, Safeway, Albertsons, QFC, WinCo and CostCo, as well as regional and local restaurant chains.

I help businesses by improving employee benefits. Colonial Life is a major provider for voluntary (sometimes called supplemental) benefits. These customized offerings allow employees to choose the coverage which they need to protect their families. I identify companies which I feel would benefit from partnering with Colonial, set up the account and answer any and all questions about coverage and claims. I also train others in all aspects of the sales and account service role, from cold calling to account retention.

In conjunction with store director and other members of management team, I ensured smooth operation of a fast-paced retail business while overseeing up to 45 employees in six departments. This included addressing customer inquiries and complaints, training new employees, supervising employees engaged in sales work, taking of inventories, reconciling cash with sales receipts, keeping operating records and preparing daily record of transactions.as well ensuring compliance of employees with established security and accounting procedures.
