Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Regional church consultant and resource specialist in four states. Acquired new accounts and maintained revenue of $1.2 million from existing customers (churches). Successful results required an analysis of the sales region along with the economic trends and perceived customer (church) needs. Effective results required the ability to use effective questioning techniques to discover church's known and latent needs. Once these needs were discovered, effective solutions would be offered. The foundation for success depended on the growth of trustworthy relationships with church leaders I served. Targeted revenue growth goals of 3%. For a period of time with LifeWay, I also managed the duties of 11 Church Partners in the Eastern US overseeing $20M in revenue.During this period I spent an extensive amount of energy in consultation with church leaders on creating mission and vision for their organization. This lead to assisting in their developing strategies for discipleship and growing small group Bible studies.The Church Partner Team (33 members) and its role with LifeWay was eliminated as a result of the harsh economic downturn from Covid19.
