Sales achievements: From a region of the country with no company brand recognition, established 12 new agency partnerships.Routine Tasks: Cold-Calling, Prospecting, Relationship Building, Customer Service, SME in Digital Marketing, Google Analytics analysis, email automation tools, Salesforce database management, long sales cycles, digital strategy and planningAt Q1Media, I had created the first remote rep role for the company. I sold digital marketing solutions - display advertising, Facebook ads, Google Ads, etc. - to advertising agencies as a way for them to outsource their digital marketing campaigns. Further, I would help the agency interpret the results of the campaign and how it translated to their client's Google Analytics.Working from a home office, I established a multi-state territory in the Midwest for the company in a region that had not been actively developed. With zero brand recognition and an incredibly competitive market, building trust in the services I could provide an advertising agency was key. Multiple meetings led to the chance to bid on RFP's.Attention to detail and execution of a plan drove continuing business/success in this role. I held routine phone and in-person meetings with clients to ensure I met their needs. Also, being able to quickly turn around solutions for an agency helped win business. Frequently, I would have to create a marketing plan in 24 hours for the client's deadline.

Sales achievements: Over 125% on my digital goal in Q1 and over 140% for Q2. Over 100% for overall goal in Q4.As an AE for our Territories group, I specialize in creating B2B and B2C digital and print solutions for my clients to provide quality ROI. The Indy Star Newspaper and its digital versions, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), social media management (across Facebook, Twitter, and Google+), digital displays on premium websites, video and website creation, and so much more are all tools frequently in use for well-rounded advertisement campaigns.I moved into this role at the beginning of the year due to a reorganization within Gannett. The recruitment division I was part of was transferred to our parent company. I love working for StarMedia and the IndyStar, and wanted to stick with the management and coworkers I thoroughly appreciate. I looked forward to the new challenge, as it allowed me to tap into the knowledge set gained in my previous role at YP. Moving into a position left vacant for roughly six months meant a lot of lost momentum. Starting from scratch in terms of a customer base, but still have a goal to obtain made the first few quarters difficult. Further, I had new customer lists to work for three consecutive quarters. However, I was able to exceed goals by Q4, and achievement I am extremely proud of obtaining.

We’re in the homes and hands of over 800,000 local readers every week, but our reach extends across the country, fueled by the power of Gannett.I am a Key AE in Recruitment, handling integrated recruitment solutions for the health care industry. From hospitals to pharmaceuticals, I work with recruiters, hiring managers, HR Directors, all the way up to CEOs to provide the resources companies need to bring in top talent. Using CareerBuilder.com, the Indy Star Newspaper, social media campaigns and more, Star Media bridges the gap that exists between hiring managers to people looking for their next step. I feel lucky to be part of the team and lucky to be here with this creative, forward-looking group! Further, we are crushing it! Q2-Q4 has been awesome with our team above 112% of growth. Personally, I have been at 103% for Q2, 109.5% Q3, and should end up around 116% for Q4. *Update - Q4 was much better than anticipated, ending over 150% to goal! Plus, I closed the gap I had inherited from my predecessor and ended the year positive, overcoming a 100k+ deficit in the process. What a rush, and at the same time sad, since my team ended up being transferred from StarMedia to our parent company. I have decided to change roles and stick with the StarMedia team.

An Employment Consultant is also known as a Job Coach. I have a caseload of clients that I help look for employment. Building business relationships is the best way to open up opportunities for my clients, so a good portion of my time is meeting with prospective partners in the business community. Once a relationship is established and clients are hired, I help the client transition into the workplace by providing assistance in their training one-on-one. After a client is successfully independent in their position, I maintain the working relationship by making sure the client continues to perform well in the role. One accomplishment I am proud of is that I made my yearly quota for placements within the first quarter of the 2012 fiscal year!

Essentially, the position was a tech support role. I helped manage and facilitate Specification reviews and approvals in the Regulus database system. Customer service and being able to manage deadlines was crucial to the role, as well as assisting clients to problem solve database issues when needed.
