Summary

My firsthand experience highlights the need to provide knowledge to care facilities. Although I have not directly sold to healthcare providers, my extensive background in sales compensates for this lack of experience. I understand the challenges seniors face with life-saving medications because I am on several myself, and I share their concerns about next year's changes to benefits. My primary care physician, with whom I have a strong relationship, could only advise me to search the Internet for better prices on some of my medications. This experience has made me recognize the importance of providing valuable information to care facilities. My extensive background in sales allows me to adjust to all sales environments. Professional with deep expertise and readiness for leadership. Proven track record in driving business growth and operational efficiency. Strong focus on team collaboration and delivering impactful results. Known for reliability, adaptability, strategic vision, and effective problem-solving. Skilled in business management, financial planning, and customer relations.
