Summary
Currently at Colonial Electric supply we are a 10+ mill branch, down from the 23 2 years ago when the business shifted out of the region and employees were promoted and business was moved. I cover about 3.5 to 4.2 of those sales annually. It was an older branch that needed to be revamped counter and inside saleswise. Doing more with less is the example.
Talented branch manager successful in managing highly effective teams with focus on account service and retention. Detail-oriented financial professional with several years of industry experience. Persuasive communicator with proactive approach to resolving account and customer service issues. Branch manager with exceptional drive and dedication to accomplishing business objectives and exceeding customer expectations. Several year history of success in the field. Experienced in fast-paced environments and adaptable to last-minute changes. Thrives under pressure and consistently earns high marks for work quality and speed. Results-driven individual with a solid track record in delivering quality work. Known for excellent communication and teamwork abilities, with a commitment to achieving company goals and delivering exceptional service. Passionate about continuous learning and professional development.
In conclusion, I would do whatever it takes to make sure our customers are looked after, from hoping in a truck and driving a missing order out, to loading that truck myself and working the dock. To pulling orders at the counter. I have strong mater handling skills, a CDL, DOT card and clean Drivers license.
