Regional Account Executive
Buffalo
Recruited as a Sales Contractor for the Verizon FiOS TV advertising product and was quickly promoted to Regional Sales Executive based on my strong sales record, aggressive hunting, high volume of new accounts under my own management and acquisition of major accounts. Shortly after my promotion, I was approached by my Vice President to develop a sales plan for launching 2 online advertising services, which were more technologically sophisticated products than any other advertising service our company had offered in the past. To develop a soft launch strategy, I first trained 4 other office associates on the new product. Next, I introduced the product to our A-list clients, and then, I developed concise sales presentations that showed how these new products positively affected our A-list client’s bottom line. The soft launch described was a huge success and over 60% of clients presented to, adopted one of the services in the first month. My successes with these products lead me to design several additional product offerings in the Buffalo market, and hone my skills at market development.Notable Accomplishments•Noted for extensive cold calling to CEOs and other top executives.
