I was recruited in winter 2019 to lead the residential landscape design & sales division. My role was not operational but more sales. I met with new client leads, performed landscape designs, estimates for the projects and closed the deals. I had a big customer service role from the first contact, throughout the estimating process through to doing the final walk through of each project. The reason for seperation was the partnership brokeup at the end 2021 and the division was no longer a main feature of the business. I loved the postion, the people and enjoyed the freedom of working at my home office, flexible hours, company viehcle and commnuted from my home to job sites.
