RssMotivated Sales Professional with a Track Record for Success

I have over 15 years experience in branded merchandise and marketing with 6 years in direct B2B sales. I am a motivated, driven sales professional with a strong track record for delivering results. During my career in sales I’ve had year end increases of up to 40%. I’ve sold to various industries of Fortune 500 companies at many levels within the organization. My strengths are in developing strong customer relationships, creating customer loyalty, and penetrating the account to drive sales. I am skilled at uncovering opportunities to grow sales within my customers. I hope to obtain a Account Management position in a mid to large size company where my skills can be utilized and I can be a strong addition to the team. I’m a quick learner and am very open to all opportunities.
