Description
PROFILE A high-performing, self-motivated entrepreneur with extensive business experience in sales, marketing and the financial sector. A leader, capable of working individually or as part of a team, I thrive in highly challenging environments and love to create organization out of chaos. While many people claim to possess outstanding sales skills, few have the innate gift and genuine drive to succeed that has underwritten my varied and successful career. Outstanding people skills enable me, not only to sell and close, but meet and exceed all targets and still have the energy, commitment and generosity to teach, coach and mentor others to achieve success beyond their expectations. I thrive under pressure, enjoy solving problems and create opportunities where others only see difficulties. This drive led me to succeed in the highly regulated financial world, while my creativity, sales and marketing background enables me to think outside of the box. I look forward to bringing these skills to your organization and watching the business grow. 2011 - Present Sales Consultant_ Flooring America Fairfax, VA. Over 1 million in sales last year.
