I am well skilled with Management in Sales & Customer Service both in Outbound Call Centers as well as Face to Face Sales. My Style. My personal experience has allowed me to learn many things over the years that help Average Sales People become great. I have knack and desire to help other people bring out the best in themselves. I have built multiple Cultures in which the work environment changes the entire perspective of people for the greater good of themselves and the company. I can identify and correct issues with a sales team, process and help change or better overall moral by developing a culture of people who want to hate being average more than they like being successful. Effectively recruit and train new people to become top producers. I will be doing this by helping new hires understand that treating everyone you meet as if they are important and truly look to help them by understand their wants and needs and solving their issues they may have. Also, to help team members identify and understand how our products and services (which are features), benefit our customers so they see the value in doing business with us today., I have Sales Experience with Car Sales, Telemarketing Vacation Sales. To me the best salesperson is one that is consistent with his performance. I have personal and Career goals that I want to accomplish that help motivate me to always push to be the best. I understand how to take the features of a product or service that an organization supplies and through question and rapport building help the customer see the benefits as to why they should take advantage and purchase our product now. I am coachable and understand that you must always continue to work hard and be willing to learn., I have had the opportunity to learn from great mentors such over the years as well from continuous reading on how to become a great leader. Remember you manage numbers & processes, you lead people. I have adopted the Servant Leadership way. I have a passion for Reading Self Help Books to help Develop myself. Books that include 'Servant Leadership', 'How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success Through Selling'. Lead by example and invest your effort and time into people to help them understand and identify what level of success that they want to achieve. You help enough people get what they want, in return you will always get what you want. Culture is a huge part of why Sports Teams, Offices and Organization operate at a high level, and stay there with consistent results. Without a healthy and upbeat work environment your business will never grow in the right direction. I am experienced with taking rooms that were falling apart because of previous environment allowed by old management and turning them around. As well I have started from scratch and built a culture from the ground up with all new staff. I will never ask a co-worker even if my level of command is higher than theirs to do something that I am not willing to do myself. I do not believe in the pointing the finger method. I look to find why something is the way currently is going and find a solution to increase production. I have always been a leader on my sports team or on the sales floor.
