During Spring and Fall large distributors around United States host shows to educate and promote product lines they carry. These are attended by professional hairdressers in the industry as a way to obtain their continuing education hours and requirements to uphold their license for Dept. of Health and Human Services who govern our industry.

I was part of a Sales/Stylist Team who performed, educated and promoted a product line named Aquage. We traveled over weekends and did numerous shows on stage in front of our peers numbering up to 1500 in a class hosted by hotel ballrooms in large cities throughout US.

I would perform up to 6 shows during weekends. On Mondays I would be booked by salon owners to come in and do private education classes for their staff. I would educate these accounts on product use and hair design spending time with owners strategizing techniques of selling to increase product sales.

Skills

  • Client Relations and Sales
  • Communication and Service
  • Interpersonal and Problem Solving
  • Straightforward Approach

Additional Information

Communication is one of my strong suits. Over the years I have built strong relationships and friendships with clients by having multiple interpersonal skills. I enjoy meeting new people and I find it easy to connect with a client without forcing the conversation. I strive to make it a priority to build rapport with people in a short amount of time in order to provide them with the best service experience possible. I possess good analytical skills that help me to offer clear and concise problem solving methods, motivating an individual to feel at ease with my guidance and recommendations. I enjoy making a client comfortable and happy they have met me and can trust me in a no nonsense, realistic manner to help them meet all of their needs, questions, and expectations. I strive to complete a task well and on time. I naturally tend to lead in a situation, but I am aware of others input, I am coachable, a team player and a quick learner paying attention to detail.


After 22 years in the role of salon ownership, sales manager for Woodhouse and recruiter/client manager for Triage, I have not only learned to become a "jack of all trades" including customer sales and management, contracts, accounting, payroll and finance, I have learned to carry myself with integrity, honesty, a sense of humor and confidence to build relationships with clients and co-workers. I believe I'm ready to take another leap of faith that I will succeed in this arena also. I look forward to being part of a team that can be diverse but work together toward a common goal. I look forward to learning new skills also. After research, testimonies from employees and knowing the foundation on which this group is built and stands, I believe Thrasher is a company I would enjoy to work for and build my new career!
