Presidents Club Award 2016

As the regional sales manager for the Greater Philadelphia area, New York, and New Jersey. My recruiting was so strong that I was also providing support nationally through out of state sales teams in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland OR, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale. My Philadelphia office was 1st place in gross sales sustained through 2015 and 2016. We were producing $20k gross sales a week at our peak which was $12k higher per week than the closest performing peer office in the Smart Circle International network. My team's excellence in the areas of recruiting, training, and sales were all topics I was invited to speak about at multiple regional conferences.
