"It's in my DNA!" A few years ago, I had the privilege of working with Gil Cargill, a prestigious sales coach from Cargill Consulting Group. After our first meeting, he told me I was a natural born salesperson and "Lisa, It's in your DNA." I will never forget that comment. I've always enjoyed setting goals and working hard to achieve those goals and sales has allowed me the opportunity to do just that! As for sales being a part of my DNA, I think back to when I was about 9 years old. I wanted my VERY OWN hair dryer, so I had my older sister drive me to every house in our small community in Atkins, Arkansas, to sell flower seed packets that my parents had purchased for me from the advertising section of a Home & Garden magazine. It was my goal that summer to sell as many flower seeds as I possibly could in order to get that amazing Conair hair dryer. I was determined that I could do this and worked on it EVERY day that summer until I accomplished that goal. It was the best feeling EVER when I accomplished that goal and was rewarded for my hard work by getting in the mail a brand new hair dryer. From that summer on, I realized that if I wanted something bad enough I just had to put my mind to it, work hard at it and make it happen!I have been in sales professionally for over 15 years and am constantly thinking, planning and preparing for the next sales opportunity. I am very energetic and hard driving and love facing new challenges. I continually invest in my education as well as my personal development because I truly understand that these are the tools of a GREAT sales professional. I invest a lot in my career, my business and my customers. My customers are very important to me so listening and understanding my customer's needs and then helping them with a solution is KEY in my line of work. I live by a simple but powerful rule: "Your customer doesn't care how much you know until they know how much you care." - Damon RichardsMy specialties include:Sales & Marketing LeadershipEntrepreneurial Vision, Strategy & LeadershipBusiness Development Major AccountsNew Account & Territory DevelopmentRisk Management & AnalysisLegal Negotiation & MediationStrong Communication & Presentation SkillsEmployee Hiring & TrainingContract Negotiations & Strategic AlliancesPolicy & Procedure DevelopmentAll-Clean USA specialties:Water DamageWater RestorationWater RemovalFire DamageSmoke RemovalMold RemediationFull-Service Restoration
