Hired to create new division under the parent company umbrella to diversify product offering. This included:
• new vendor and product selection
• training for team members
• invoicing and inventory management systems
• warehouse design
• sales and marketing plans
This was later rolled out to every branch within the company. In first year of creating this new division, I was able to grow the business more than two million dollars with more than 25% profit margin before vendor rebates. Each year, this division has continued to grow exponentially as we have continued to add new products to keep up with the current market trends.
