Summary

I strategically manage a portion of the Arkansas book of business in excess of 11M in order to maximize retention and reduce customer attrition. This includes selling opportunities within the current customer base, new account sales, and win-back opportunities. My main focus is developing strong, long-term relationships as well as building value by consulting with clients & prospects on their laboratory needs and strategically providing an innovative solution. I spend time also on cold-calling and generating good quality leads by qualifying potential clients through a consultative sales presentation.

I am a very competitive and focused individual. I have an ability to grow significant revenues in a territory and build long term relationships with my clients. With that being said, I believe this is what makes me stand out above my competition. I give God all the glory on a daily basis for not only my successes but my failures as well.
