OBJECTIVE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your organization may need someone with my abilities. For over twenty years I have been involved in sales and management with the steel industry. I am sales oriented and possess a strong commitment to customer service. I am able to work independently and have excellent communication and problem solving skills. I have developed the skills to effectively process customer orders from entry through delivery. Another skill I have developed is the ability to resolve customer issues by clarifying customer's complaint; determining the cause of the problem; selecting and explaining the best solution to solve the problem; expediting correction or adjustment; following up to ensure resolution.
