CollapseResponsibilities

My customer service & creative abilities have made the most impact on UniFocus. The owner of the company, my direct superior & my clients have expressed their appreciation of my willingness to go above & beyond. Customer satisfaction ratings for our department have increased significantly during my tenure. Presentation is very important in Marketing and customer materials. The owner of our company was gave a presentation to one of my key clients. The audience included corporate contacts from the management company, as well as the executive managers of all their properties. The presentation was given to me on Thursday to review and append slides to if I had information to add. The presentation was very boring & hard to follow. Over the week-end, I made a master page with an elegant hotel in the background, I downloaded all of the logo's for the company and it's hotels, and I added the bells and whistles available in Power Point. I delivered the file to the owner Sunday evening so he could walk through the presentation prior to his departure to Bangkok on Wednesday. The owner was extremely pleased with the quality as well as the slides I created to highlight how UniFocus has helped them increase the properties guest satisfaction ratings.
