Work Experience
Regional Manager
Texas Digital - Corpus Christi, TX
June 2020 to October 2023
Was initially hired as an Ad Exec in a Business to Business environment for the largest in house Ad Agency in the Southwest U.S., primarily selling in 3 different mediums which entailed Digital, Print, & Billboard Advertising. My skill set was optimal for both parties due to the extreme need of New Client Acquisition as well as the "Retention" depletion that TDN was experiencing when I accepted an offer in 2020. Fortunately, I had an exceptional 3rd & 4th Quarter (my personal best increase since 2012) for the firm, & was rather blessed to break TDN's New Business Sales "Annual" record for the year in merely 6 months of Business Development. Throughout all the Regions, it stands as TDN's highest New Biz Revenue ever. Soon afterwards, I was given the opportunity to head the Corpus Christi office & still be able to contribute in the field with the majority of existing clients.
• As a region, our Corpus office exceeded our Sales Objectives in 14 of 15 separate canvasses. I must say I had extremely talented Personnel on my team. However, apparently the Pandemic had an extremely negative impact elsewhere in the 2 Key metro areas which are Houston & Dallas. As a result, no one expected that company wide the firm had significant "solvency" issues, which was not the direction my Region in Corpus experienced. Ironically, in regards to overall Revenue as well as margin, my office had its very best year. I must say,that, myself plus most of the 15 Regional Managers were truly shocked TDN pulled out of all areas except a mere 12-15% of the areas once present, including Corpus Christi.

& SFU-Single Family Units; & Commercial Accounts for COX in OKC. I possess a refined Skill Set utilizing qualified Demographic Data Models for optimal production. Effectiveness entails exceeding benchmarks In Total Revenue basically by obtaining New Client Acquisitions & existing customer upgrades for additional products from a limited line of essentially 4 products. Yet, 2 of these I personally feel are a Consumer Staples, a primary need; thus vast Revenue approaching any utility types as well as the
Oil industry. The include Internet & Video/Cable.
