Clear Wireless - Dallas, TX
September 2010 to February 2012
I was employed as a Sales Manager of ClearWire. After a year's hard work, and dedication, I was offered the District Management position. I was in charge of sales and employee performance reviews. Daily, I had to report my districts numbers to higher authority and set forth a game plan for the next day and week. My district was ranked in the 35th place amongst all other districts in the states. Together, my boss and I set forth a plan to help us advance in placement. That plan was to cut overhead by as much as possible along with some other minor issues. The plan went into affect and within seven months or so my district was ranked number four in the states. The reason for leaving the company was because my area Vice President stole money from many of my as well as my employee checks. Store Manager
