Work Experience
August 2019-May 2020
In the summer of 2019 Empire-Today (one of the country’s largest national flooring companies) contacted me to be part of their new commercial division. I started work for them last August. My duties included business to business sales both warm and cold calls also reaching out to property management companies, developers ect. In the short time I was there I was able to make contact with many clients that asked me to contact them after the current pandemic subsides. From March 2017 to 2019
I am currently employed by 1-800-BUSYDOG Basement Technologies. They are the largest waterproofing company in the region. They also have a large structural division and epoxy floor department. In this short period of time (6 months) I have become an important part of this company. My duties include sales in waterproofing both residential and commercial. I have been through extensive training in structural assessments for structural foundation repairs. I have also been involved in their new epoxy floor department. Evaluating, estimating and selling many. All these areas are fairly new for me and I feel I have learned a lot in a short amount of time. There is ongoing training in all three divisions. Waterproofing in itself has weeks of training to become proficient at it.
