Brokered mineral rights deals between land-owners and investors in the Oil and Gas industry. Built and maintained relationships with investors and fund managers in the Oil and Gas industry. Pulled landowner data from courthouses and then used skip trace programs to find contact information. Worked lead funnel from locating and cold calling landowners to closing deals using needs based selling techniques and negotiating pricing and terms of buy contracts. Trained a small team to close deals and negotiate buy contracts. Once contracts were signed I would negotiate with multiple investors to sell it for the highest possible price while staying within the terms we had negotiated. Brokered multiple multi-million-dollar deals, with a sales cycle of 4-12 months, from start to finish.

Built the company from the ground up with the owner, who had no experience in the furniture/bedding industry, or any other retail industry. Once the doors were open I was given complete control, so he could continue running another company. I selected which products we would sell, negotiated pricing and terms with vendors, and determined at what price point we would sell them. Forecasted sales in detail to determine necessary inventory levels on over 200 SKUs and implemented systems to manage replenishment. Conducted research to identify under-served markets, scouted for possible retail locations, negotiated pricing and terms of multi-year leases. Oversaw website design and development, advertising, and contractors as they built out new stores. Before leaving I was able to negotiate a 10-year contract to roll the company into a national chain as a franchise so the owner could receive assistance with many of these functions, which I also flew back to help him with at closing 4 months after my leaving.

Oversaw all day-to-day operations in multi-store furniture and mattress company. On my second day I was asked by the owner to train a new sales employee, instead of continuing to receive training myself, and given keys to the store. Within a month I was promoted to Store Manager, and within six months I was promoted to General Manager over two retail stores and a warehouse. I grew the company from two retail locations to four within another year by restructuring the processes and systems for sales, delivery, and inventory, resulting in increased sales and higher margins.

Hired and trained sales staff. Negotiated with and acquired new wholesale accounts. Developed and implemented strategies to increase productivity and maximize inventory capabilities. Was tasked with implementing these same strategies while increasing profitability and reducing expenses at two additional store locations.

Sold intangible products such as credit monitoring service or insurance products to existing customers. Helped train new employees, worked on special projects for upper management, and dealt with highly secure information. Rarely came in under 200% of monthly sales goals. Was in top 3 performers out of over 500 salespeople every quarter I worked there.

Started in sales at 15 years old; at 16 years old was put in charge of all inventory systems; at 17 years old became Assistant Manager and took over accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll, including calculating and writing payroll checks.
