Summary

Driven by common sense and a results-focused approach, I employ my excellent interpersonal skills and problem solving abilities to achieve both company and professional goals in the process of helping customers make informed, confident decisions and purchases. My broad life experience to include service in the military and as a nurse, a sales professional, and a business owner have prepared me to maintain my professionalism in stressful situations, to be comfortable interacting with almost anyone, and to identify and solve people's problems in a manner that has been commended by customers, peers and supervisors. My strengths in the sales process are in industry and product knowledge and my ability to quickly establish rapport and gain trust resulting a close. I am seeking a commissioned full or part-time outside sales position with an enthusiastic, goal oriented team that continues to challenge me. I look forward to aligning and growing with a company where my diverse background, people and sales skills, and high personal and professional standards will be mutually beneficial.
