Work History

- This included selling and rapport building based calls with past and current customer bases, spending time at shooting events, industry shows and grand openings as well as working as a customer service liaison for any number of topics and concerns for each perspective company.
- We have just recently finished the extensive refinishing of the the duplex as well as finalizing our new tenant into the rental that was remodeled as well which now allows me to focus fully on looking into my next business opportunity.

KALASHNIKOV USA
01.2010 - 03.2015
- Established myself as the sole sales manager to progress and prosper through four separate regime changes over an eight year career with a struggling start up using my time and contacts in the industry throughout each to ensure the level of trust needed to get the company off the ground and headed in a positive direction
- Maximized my relationships with the top three buy groups in the industry to bring a confidence and believability to our company line
- Built and or continued long lasting friendships with new and old distributors, dealers and competing companies to stay up to date and relevant in the industry community as a whole
- Also took on the liaison position as the first line of defense in the customer service department for all questions, concerns and issues, good or bad during the Covid rush which saw the largest increase in business in the history of the weapon industry
- Exceeded relationship and sales goals at all industry shows to included the Vegas Shot Show, the NBS, Sports Inc, Worldwide shows, the NASGW distributor shows, the NRA show and any other distributor specific or consumer driven shows in between
- Worked to grow fruitful relationships at every corporate level to ensure that the company continually communicated to ensure information dissemination was not lost as often as possible due to lack of rapport and misunderstanding.
