Charleston
10.2023 - Current
- When MBC Pools decided to pull out of the Charleston market due to the saturation of pool companies, I quickly called on the owner of Endless Pools and Spas as a potential option for my current customers inquiring for pools.
- I currently assist our owner with on-site meetings with customers, discussing their projects while consulting with them on pool designs to fit their ideal budget.
- I bring materials and pool concepts to the meetings providing them with ideas that would stay within the price range that fits their needs.
- I have designed our marketing materials that I bring to potential customers when doing sale drop-ins.
- I will meet customers at businesses where I assist them with choosing materials for their pool and decking.
- Weekly phone calls are provided to each customer to ensure our communication is never a concern.

- The owner approached me as he wanted to establish his pool company in the Charleston market.
- With a background in speech-language therapy, meeting with potential new customers and cold-calling on home builders came easy to me.
- My role was to quickly gain traction for our company targeting both residential customers and commercial companies.
- I have called several companies and will set up weekly meetings with home builders to talk in detail about our pools.
- When contracts were signed, I stayed in contact with our customers on a weekly basis providing those updates on the projects and reviewing materials for their backyard oasis.
- I would send pictures to our out-of-town customers, so they were up to date with the entirety of the project.
- MBC Pools is based out of Hardeeville, SC.
