Toronto, On, Ca

As a strategic partnerships manager, I focused on reaching out to potential partners to discuss their business models and objectives, assessing how Katana could address their clients' current issues. I spearheaded outreach campaigns targeting specific customers, providing them with product demonstrations and information about the benefits of joining Katana's Partner Program. As the first point of contact, I represented the company's initial engagement with prospects, positioning myself as the initial face of Katana. My responsibilities also included identifying untapped areas for potential growth through market research, pinpointing unique value-added incentives that differentiate us from the competition. Throughout this process, I developed extensive experience with products in the eCommerce and B2C solution industry, further enhancing my ability to serve our partners and expand our market presence effectively.

In a dynamic role, I effectively managed daily inventory allocation across various markets and spearheaded the setup of customer accounts, ranging from small businesses to national chains with over 150 locations. I balanced accounts, handled all aspects of non-automated invoicing, payment processing, and responded to customer payment inquiries. I also implemented a secure delivery procedure for high-value orders and managed a vast catalog of over 30,000 items into our system. My leadership extended to supporting and guiding a 16-person customer service team and leading the development of a new company division to full autonomy, including staff training and customer account setup. I directly managed national account inquiries and concerns, innovated our credit card payment system for operational efficiency, and ensured the accuracy and profitability of order releases, including the management of significant bulk orders. Additionally, I was responsible for the comprehensive management of our consignment business within hospitals globally, demonstrating adeptness in operational management and customer service excellence.

In my role, I was deeply involved in daily marketing research to identify trends and predict market values, which enabled me to pinpoint new target markets and diversify our product offerings beyond wholesale vehicle sales into the retail sector, including tires and aftermarket parts. I forged strategic partnerships with detailers, suppliers, and mechanics, broadening our business scope and enhancing profits across the product lifecycle. To maintain and expand our customer base, I developed a personal Customer Relationship Management system, ensuring high-quality service and leveraging opportunities within existing networks for business growth. My responsibilities also included participating in weekly sales auctions, managing significant portions of our purchasing budget, and appraising trade-ins, while ensuring all business practices complied with industry regulations. I managed the detailing segment, setting competitive pricing strategies for high-end vehicles and adding services like ceramic coating to boost revenue, all while maintaining top-quality standards. Additionally, I oversaw marketing strategies, incorporating media channels to strengthen our market presence.

As an account representative for BMW and Toyota Financial Services, I played a pivotal role as a liaison between the auction and vehicle manufacturers, enhancing business relationships through consistent attention to detail, which led to operational expansion and acquisition of market share from competitors. In addition to this, I served as an assistant marketing coordinator with a focus on advertising, leveraging my skills to promote our services effectively. My proficiency in conflict resolution was demonstrated by addressing post-sale arbitrations and customer service inquiries, ensuring client satisfaction and maintaining high service standards. I was also tasked with processing inspections and overseeing contracted work for over 600 Toyota and BMW vehicles, covering mechanical, cosmetic, and administrative responsibilities. Upholding industry bi-laws related to ownerships, saleable vehicles, and repossessions was a critical part of my role, ensuring compliance and integrity in all business dealings.
