Professional Experience
Porsche of Destin Destin, FL
Salesperson/PPN coordinator 3/2012-9/2012
While employed with Porsche, my daily activities included a wide variety of
things. I called on and pursued sales inquiries both over the phone and
from our many web based lead sources, listed inventory our new and pre-
owned inventory on sites such as craigslist and helped customers who came
into the dealership. Product knowledge was essential as we were required
to be certified by Porsche Cars North America in order to be a sales
associate. This required many hours of study as well as successful
completion of over 30 tests on each model in the Porsche family. I was
also the PPN coordinator which was essentially the liaison between my
dealership and PCNA. I setup all of our launch events both in and outside
the dealership, registered employees within the system, designed and
ordered the dealership inventory and requested all other materials our
dealership needed. In addition, I was responsible for attending training
seminars hosted by PCNA in various states and locations, where I was then
tested on all information I had learned.
Restaurant.com Destin, FL
Restaurant Consultant 9/2011 - 3/2012
As a restaurant consultant, I provide restaurant owners with the
information they need to know about our company and the benefits of
advertising we provide for them. I then tailor and fine tune our program
to fit the specific needs of their restaurant. Obtaining new restaurant
partners is my primary focus. I meet with a minimum of six restaurants per
day and I work closely with a meeting coordinator out of our Chicago office
to plan
each day to be as productive as possible. This position requires late
hours, weekends and extensive travel throughout Florida and Alabama to
accommodate the schedules of restaurant operators. I am currently the
highest ranked RC in this company, gaing the title of Highest Ranked RC in
2012. I have been above my monthly quotas each month and have led my
region in sales since my hire date.
Valutel Communications Albuquerque, NM
Sales Manager 1/2007 - 6/2011
My position was as a sales manager in the business telecom industry. This
included hiring and training new employees, accompanying them on customer
appointments and mentoring them through the many steps of the sales
process. It was my responsibility to "lead by example" and ensure that
each member of my team was at or above their sales quota. As part of the
sales team myself, I met with business owners throughout the state of New
Mexico to discuss telephone and Internet needs for their business. After
collecting information from the client, I performed a cost analysis and
provided them with a comparison against their current provider's rates and
services. While cold calling was necessary to my continued success, I also
sought out other individuals just outside my field with which I could
collaborate with to obtain new accounts. With the many telecom options
available to businesses, new marketing strategies and thinking outside the
box was a must in this ever-changing, technology based industry. Staying a
step ahead of my competitors enabled me to break sales records and made me
an asset to this company
