I believe my qualifications would make me an excellent fit for your open role as District/Region Manager.Throughout my history, I have acted as the pivotal point for enterprise-wide business strategies that resulted in significant revenue growth and market share capture, leveraging my keen business insight to set the standard for individual store performance and provide the tools and roadmaps necessary to achieve those goals. I have consistently raised regions to be the top in the nation, combining a dedication to customer service, strong knowledge of quality management, and exceptional sales and marketing insight to aggressively pursue business opportunities and realize unparalleled growth. In addition, I have proven myself an exceptionally talented mentor and coach, setting an example of quality performance for personnel at all levels while providing the insight, direction, and recommendations necessary to support team members in advancing their careers, adopting best practices and standards, and exceeding performance expectations. Highlights of my achievements: • Built sales for Divine Pizza from the ground up, rising rapidly from $255,000 in sales in the first year to over $1 million through aggressive guerilla marketing techniques. • Drove $10,000 in additional annual revenue by introducing portable pizza display cases for all snack bars in town, featuring banners with the company logo and price per slice. • Generated 20% sales growth over 6 years by creating more than 30 new items to keep a fresh menu that appealed to market needs. • Took an instrumental role in boosting sales more than 10% above LYTD for a $1 billion national retail business by ensuring proper store staffing, organization, presentation, pricing, and placement of house brands. • Cut “out of stocks” from 10% to under 5% by identifying computer inventory errors at the store level. • Eliminated $3.2 million in annual costs by identifying and remediating an issue with the store closing procedure, cutting 1 hour from closing per night at a rate of $12 per hour for 750 stores. • Reduced annual costs by $7 million by introducing a new store design that minimized shop-lifting, with inventory losses dropping from $35 per day per store to less than $10 per day. I firmly believe that my accomplishments demonstrate the skills necessary to be a significant asset to your company.
