  • I was promoted and transferred from the Home Improvements division to the Business Center division to manage our Pilot Mountain location. Sales and attendance was down and I was sent in to improve our numbers. Within the first 30 days I successfully hosted events that were standing room only. Our top numbers consistently increased week after week. As manager, I performed all duties related to running the store from purchasing to scheduling and also event planning. I recruited new employees for our 2 locations and developed a New Employee Handbook. Before my management position I was promoted from within the Mathis Organization from the Business Center Division to Home Improvements. My creative thinking, ability to think outside the box, as well as my insatiable desire to stay one step ahead of our competitors led me to bring hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business into the company. My duties included: Storage Building Sales, setting up estimates for sales team, researching current Market trends in order to customize proposals based on client wants and needs, Marketing the company Facebook page, promoting discounts, customer follow up, using Quickbooks for payroll of 2 divisions, using Quickbooks for AR/AP , tracking weekly figures using a customized spreadsheet for the Business Center Division, as well as researching and recruiting new financial services to benefit customers and utilizing my creative thinking and research abilities to revive “dead” files into productive jobs.
