Work Experience

Owner

TCB Marketing Inc. - Champaign, IL

April 2013 to Present

I control all aspects of my corporation including human resources and recruiting, business analysis, hiring, sales, payroll, as well as leading the office in sales production. I am in control of all clients and add more clients based on our performance. We are an acquisitional company that specializes in corporate promotions and marketing on behalf of our clients. They provide the different promotions and services, and we are responsible for representing them in local markets as well as helping them with new marketing strategies depending on their target markets. Our clients specialize in fields such as home renovations, and home entertainment and we have received awards for being a top performer for Direct and AT&T. We feel we can complement their niche with superior marketing and an outstanding sales team to keep them busy doing what they do best. With representatives nationally, our one-on-one approach allows us to get personal with our client's customers through marketing and advertising. I have promoted out 3 employees to run their own Corporations in GA, Tennessee, and Texas. I am currently not involved as much in personal sales, as most of my income comes from residuals of their sales. I do meet with the top marketing professionals of the companies we represent and mentor the associates I promote out, visit them periodically, have conference calls weekly, and conduct daily data analysis of our business activities and other competing companies' activities. I am currently working part- time doing contract work for various businesses. I am enthusiastically looking for a new career where I can use my experience and energy to help the business succeed in obtaining its ultimate goals and beyond. I have a vast knowledge of many aspects of many industries and the pay is on par with my past. I do not want to be seen as overqualified. I am looking to grow here. I am willing to relocate.
