Product Development Sales Rep

Professional summary My experience in media and marketing has a long history. I have been in the film business since I was a teenager making on air presentations for Thane Marketing. I have worked for retail stores, online companies and production companies as a sales rep and as an actor selling their products. My background of on air work is extensive. I've also run my own businesses and successful sold businesses that I built. People who have worked for me say I was one of their favorite bosses who they respected for staying firm in what I believe and keeping a sound safe working environment for all, staff and respective clients alike. I have an extensive background not only with on camera work but in sales and product development. One said major success I had was finding the Don Sullivan's approach to Dog Training and helping develop his system into a multi million dollar award winning project. Samantha Lockwood
