Accomplishments

We set numerous sales records for LA Fitness in the Buckhead location and the Midtown location in acquisition and business to business membership sales. We also set new company records within lifetime during my time as a sales manager. The best part about that it was my team setting records and not just myself which was the most rewarding. I was the number one recruiting agent and Primerica and set a new National Record. And my most recent achievement is the sales of $150,000 in sponsorships for a summit later this year for my former employer.
