The Top-Flite Golf Co.

Bowling Green, Ky, Us

Increased territory sales revenue by 27% within first year and over 53% in second year, resulting in top sales revenue producer in year 2. Built relationships with key decisions makers through persistency, great customer service while supporting their shops with marketing material, explained our marketing strategy to buyers, and held demo days to ensure our products would have fast sell through and place the customer on a recurring order. These methods were key drivers in exceeding sales quotas. There were 100+ outbound call days. While speaking with the key buyer, I explained our product line, marketing plan, expected sell through; which left the buyer knowing they made the right investment and initial order was confirmed. After the initial order, impeccable customer service allowed me to transform an inside sales account with minimal volume to a key customer. I built relationships with key decisions makers both at green grass and retail golf shops and supported their shops with marketing material, explained our marketing strategy to them so they felt supported and would see the products they have in their shops are in top golf publications, TV, Radio and Internet. I held demo days to ensure our products would have fast sell through and place the customer on a recurring order. I called on both smaller division 3 schools to National Championship contenders. Overall I turned 18 collegiate golf teams to “switch to a better ball” during our campaign with 100%retention for repeat sales for year 2. In year two I switched an additional 31 collegiate golf schools to our products, with again 100% retention for second year orders. I believed in the products I once built, the passion carried over on the phone. Having built, serviced and sold the golf product line my next goal was to help design, market, brand and support our product line. That is when I was promoted to Assistant Brand Manager.
