Through market research and analysis I was able to identify a new product category of merchandise, which contributed to company growth and profits. By launching the Industrial category PPE; Personal Protective Equipment, we began servicing the oil and gas industry, putting the company on the map as the leader in safety apparel & Footwear (PPE). With a continuous knowledge of OSHA standards/rules/regulations I determined which products met and/or exceeded the requirements, building a reputable portfolio of products. To market the new line I exhibited at Oil & Gas trade-shows and created an industrial department in our storefront locations. After securing several B2B accounts I formatted an online drop-ship program. Results:★ Increases sales by 120-150% every year★ Industry leader for sales in a product category.★ Fastest growth category from initial 5 locations to 31★ E-commerce drop-ship program exceeded sales forecast

Initially hired as a store manager at a B level store (a store preforming as forecasted) I quickly increased over all sales and cut inventory loss by 10%, improved employee scheduling and maximized customer service. After 2 months I was given a review and promoted as General Store Manager and transferred to a C level store (a store performing as below forecasted) I identified several fragmented areas of the store and immediately restored company policy and procedures. After a complete over haul of the location and store-reset the location was listed as a B level store within 1 year. The store grew to an A level store (a store performing Above forecasted) in the following year. Through dedication, leadership, and hard work over a 5-year time frame I took the store location from possible closer to the highest performing location in the chain. Results:Increased sales in first year to category B storeReduced company waste and loss by 35%Store location was #1 in sales 2 years in a rowPromoted from store GM to the Corporate Office
