"Continuous effort -- not strength nor intelligence -- is the key to unlocking our potential." –Winston ChurchillAs a dynamic and resourceful sales professional with a naturally inquisitive and analytical mindset, guided by design thinking principles, I am not afraid to challenge the status quo in favor of change and innovation if it is what’s best for my clients. Through continuous effort, that Mr. Churchill talked about, intuitive business acumen, and hands-on experience managing ‘key accounts’ I can search out, identify, and satisfy the needs of others on the path to profitability. In fact, I will go out of my way to solve the problems of my clients with the right products. I possess advanced persuasive communication skills and can use that to mitigate the risk in ‘calculated risk.’ I recently had a personality trait assessment that showed me as the type of person who can work comfortably in environments where there are multiple stressors without becoming mentally worn down. It is in my nature to excel in high-stress, fast-paced environments. My skills and abilities are noted through consistent recognition in exceeding goals:* Collaborative leader who utilizes digital media, emerging technologies, and cultural trends to exceed performance targets and stimulate long-term business growth by consistently exceeding sales goals and quotas by more than 100% (most recently by 146% and 195%) year over year (YOY).* Won the 2016 Winner’s Circle Award with Gordon/Glazier Food Service by successfully qualifying prospective customers and generating a Top 5% raking in annual sales and a Top 5% ranking for new accounts.* Inspired $3M in new sales during my first year with Gordon by developing a loyal customer pipeline through networking and cold calling.
