I am currently employed with Aarons Sales and Lease as a Regional Manager. I have extensive experience as a multi-unit leader and have a proven track record of success. I consider myself a servant leader and a player’s coach. I believe the best way to be successful in any business environment is through hard work, self and team accountability, and setting goals. Using a results driven approach, ensuring compliance, and always putting the customer first are of utmost importance. I strongly believe that leaders need to get their hands dirty and motivate their team to succeed through positive reinforcement and consistent follow-up. I believe that my experience, leadership approach, and past successes make me the ideal candidate for your current opening. Regional Manager
