This was going to be my last job ever... Recruited to participate in a rigorous agent training program that offered a pathway to owning a State Farm agency. After 14 months of learning to sell life insurance to people searching for car insurance quotes, I exited the business.

Delivered ROI with Portable Fans, Ventilation & Cooling EquipmentFirst job after college... Vertical Sales Territory Manager for the company's smallest market which serves the construction, event and HVAC rental companies in North America. I'm pretty sure they were trying to determine if it was a viable market to sell to and thought it would be best to hire a kid fresh out of college to keep sales and marketing expenses low.Fast forward 3-1/2 years and the territory went from around $600K to around $2MM in annual sales! During that time I cold-called, door knocked, wrote articles in trade magazines, created email marketing and social media campaigns, designed print advertisements, brochures, catalogs, managed over 15 independent sales reps and led our participation in trade shows! All of these activities led me to create an annual, repeatable marketing plan that was adapted for the rest of the business.Maintained the highest profit margins in the company, despite having smaller revenue.Favorite activity was trade shows. We exhibited at a national selling show and went from around $140K in sales at the show to around $400K in sales! I led the whole process and had a blast. Then one day, I got a call from a State Farm recruiter who told me I could be a business owner in a highly lucrative industry and as a young and aggressive salesperson, I had to pursue the opportunity.

This was a fun internship. I worked in the Small Business Development Center helping create and execute marketing plans for small, local companies. I also helped set up a weekly "urban market" (a combo between a farmers market and a locally-made goods market with live music). The following year the market moved locations, was taken over by the St Cloud Rotary Club and rebranded as Summertime by George. It's an awesome event if you're ever in St. Cloud on a Wednesday night during the summer.

I helped fellow students step outside their comfort zone and spend a semester studying abroad. In addition to promoting the programs, I helped with administering applications and organizing pre-trip workshops.

My parents owned a small Rainbow Play Systems dealership in Southeastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. It was located on the site where my grandpa had an apple orchard and where my dad ran a farm market.Growing up in a family business, we all pitched in. When I was in second grade, my younger brother and I operated a concession stand selling popcorn, soda and caramel apples to people who were visiting the farm market.My first commissioned sales role was when I was in 6th grade. Back then we sold Christmas trees and I got $1 for every tree sold while I was working weekends with my dad. One weekend, my parents had a conference out of town so my cousin and I ran the store. I was 11 and he was 15. My job was to sell the trees and collect the money and my cousin put the Christmas trees on top of the cars and tied them down.In the summer, I built swing sets and basketball hoops during the week and when I turned 16 I started running the store on weekends so I could make sales. When I was 19, I won a national sales award and was invited to the Rainbow Play Systems annual conference. At the time, working in the family business was challenging and stressful. Looking back, I'm really grateful for the lessons learned and the experiences I had.
