WORK EXPERIENCE

This requires a deep knowledge of what your clients require, which also requires a strong consultative sale. I have been able to covert most, if not all of the various clients, and have increased market share in both initial acquisition of the client, expanding the use of our product. Have been very successful in regaining clients, and saving - resurrecting supposed lost revenue. I have also met personally with clients ranging from sales meetings and various conventions.

I do not believe anyone else has shown the tenacity, consistency, and reliability in attempting to reach desired goals numerous times.

National Sales Representative offering advert incentive to AT&T Clients. We offered a yellow page and four part color vehicle for accounts with AT&T 800 numbers to advertise their services. Clients paid for this service and it was also used as an incentive to maintain AT&T accounts.

I maintained and acquired multi-million dollar accounts, as well as medium sized business accounts. It

required expertise in both contacting, selling, and maintaining accounts reaching into the billions of dollars.

Eventually, AT&T decided to delete this arm of services.

I recruited the largest real estate offices in the territory, as well as some of the most successful real estate agents in Southern California. My publication reached fifth in the nation out of over one hundred fifty, and represented millions of dollars in advertising. Keep in mind, this is working from scratch - a complete new venture.
