Reported directly to both owners responsible for all strategic marketing/purchasing activities related to developing the company’s product lines.

I directed the analysis of Paper Mart’s product line(s): product pricing, competitive products, and sales/service strategies to ensure a high level of customer service satisfaction and maximum market penetration.
