Summary
I have developed the skills to be a successful sales representative for a company. By gaining product knowledge, and learning the systems of Runabout boats and houseboats has provided me with a successful carrier in the marine industry.
I have gain the social skills to be able to deal with and solve problems with multiple personality traits and keep a professional attitude when things can seem like they get to a personal level.
Seeing things from a dealers perspective, you can provide the information and product lines that will help them be successful whether it's a brand new boat purchase, an engine upgrade, or adding accessories to a boat to fit their needs on the water.
