My name is Laura Chapman and I help companies reduce operating expenses. I am a customer-focused professional with a proven track record of meeting and supporting sales objectives through relationship selling. I pride myself on being a strategic thinker with the competence to adapt to difficult situations with diplomacy. I have solid organizational and time management skills and I thrive in both independent and collaborative work environments, effortlessly interacting with all levels of management, peers, vendors, and customers. Today companies are looking for innovative ways to create revenue and cut operating costs. Technology such as LEDs has allowed the opportunity for companies to reduce energy costs all the while reducing their carbon footprint. Consider this, Energy Star labelled LED lamps use a 1/4 of the electricity that an incandescent/halogen lamp uses with comparable brightness and substantial longer life. So a company stands to save money on their day-to-day lighting. Not to mention the ecological benefits; a building’s carbon footprint from lighting can be reduced by 85% by retrofitting all incandescent/halogen lamps for new LEDs. Now change like that can make some business owners, rightfully so, a little hesitant. But take this recent order: a $50K exterior LED retrofit that was planned, designed, and implemented over 18 months, working with the fixture manufacturer, designer, property manager, electrical contractor, and general contractor. The whole process went smoothly and was professionally handled on all sides. When all was said and done, I was proud of my hard work in fulfilling the order and the client was happy with their rejuvenated presence with energy efficient products that will perform for years to come.If you would like to hear more about my experiences or have a challenge that you think I might be interested in, please connect with me. Let's see what I can do to help you save on current energy costs!
