I have a proven track record of managing top retail accounts and sales teams, delivering profitable revenue and market expansion, and achieving excellence in customer service and satisfaction.At Hallmark Cards, I served as a Key Account Sales Executive, responsible for an annual book of business worth over $21 million in revenue, and the primary contact for 11 regional grocery and pharmacy chains. I managed all aspects of the business-to-business relationship, contract renewals, and service team execution, with a territory of over 550 rooftops and spanning 17 states. I facilitated meetings and made presentations to key external decision makers, ranging from C-suite to VP level. I also oversaw and installed multiple competitive takeovers from the competition, resulting in over $1.1 million in new business. I received the R.B. Hall Award for National Sales Performance Excellence three times, the highest level of recognition at Hallmark, for exceeding the needs of my customers and senior leadership. My mission is to leverage my sales expertise and industry knowledge to create value for my clients and partners, and to support their strategic goals and vision.
