Experienced Territory Sales Representative/Manager/Trainer

As a sales representative calling on hospitality, wholesalers, architecture firms, plumbing contractors and other perspective customers, I will help to grow your market share and increase revenue by utilizing my extensive past sales experience and unique ability to navigate sales barriers by using creative strategies for sales engagement.

I am self-motivated with an open and caring personality that allows me to connect with the customer and win their confidence to meet their needs.
