Experience
LA Fitness Alpharetta, GA Dec '09 - Jan '10

Sales Director
. Working at LA Fitness gave me the opportunity to interact with a
variety of customers. My job was to first greet the customer after
walking through the door or calling on the phone. Next, I would
pinpoint their personnel reason to why they were interested in the
gym. Finally I would seal the deal by closing on their membership
purpose. Closing at roughly 90% I was efficient with my trade despite
the lack of traffic at the club.

Youth Volunteer
. Despite being a full time student as well as a full scholarship
athlete, I found time to influence the community around me. On my own
ambition, I took the little free time I had to lend a helping hand to
the inner city youth of Greenville. The reason I am in the position I
am today is because of the people that took the time out to mentor me
while I was growing up in Atlanta. This is a wonderful cycle the
produces a positive outcome for both the inner city youth and their
community. I have seen the positive outcome first handed and I know
the cycle will continue through the children I mentored.
