Accomplishments
Highlights:
Improved customer retention from 82% to 97.7% by created an effective field sales training program. Increased profits 10% ($500,000) annually by leading the turn around, improving service efficiencies, motivating selected key people, and creating accountability. Recovered an operating warehouse in violation of Ohio Department of Agriculture regulations, analyzing the situation using a Six Sigma fishbone, categorizing areas of concern, and addressing each individually. Grew sales 10% over prior year, averaging $112,000 per month, and became one of only seven sales managers nationally to hit the Home Depot sales budget. Increased closing percentages dramatically. Reduced costs by $10,000 per month by addressing abnormally high costs first, revamped telephone programs, streamlining the office arrangement, and renegotiating the office lease. Developed a new line of specialty services resulting in an additional $200,000 of monthly revenue. Turned around customer satisfaction from 56% to 85% satisfied in 6 months by introducing one-contact sell-and-close and immediate follow up with dissatisfied customers. This dramatically decreased complaints and uncollected accounts. Reduced employee turnover by 30%, as well as non-attendance, by targeting advertising and implementing a referral bonus program. This cut the number of candidates, while increasing the quality of candidates. It also zeroed out employment advertising expenses which were previously $3-5,000 monthly. Identified and exploited a previously unrecognized market niche for high quality, used status cars (BMW, Mercedes, Volvo), maintaining our bottom line while others were failing. Grew sales revenues by $250,000 in one year, including winning a single contract of $150,000.Companies I like:
