Leads were created by the sales staff during cold call center and collected in the field during the
sale process. The scripts I created optimized the yes rate during cold calls. I constantly analyzed
the sales methods to improve the techniques used on different social markets. The rest of my
time was spent creating an upbeat productive sales culture, handling business to business deals
personally, implementing an established process of talent recruitment screening and using
training methods to onboard trainees quickly.

bar was charging a cover charge. We were at full capacity every Thursday, Friday and Saturday
night. In addition to the juke box I implemented other ideas such as drink specials, flyers and
