Although my experience would make me over qualified for most positions. I am looking to make a change and go back to what I love the most, client relations. I am Customer-oriented and a strategic-thinking professional with several years of experience in building relationships, cultivating partnerships, retaining top accounts and developing revenue channels. Multi-tasking and self-motivated leader with expertise in expanding network connections, implementing pricing models and turnaround management.

I am excellent at vendor negotiations and team leadership. My expertise in fostering client relations significantly boosted operational efficiency and profitability, showcasing a proven track record in surpassing company objectives. .

• I have always been a driven sales representative, reaching and exceeding all goals, contests and programs in my history of employment.
