Summary

I am a hard worker who loves a job that is challenging and rewarding at the same time. When I am confident in my abilities and knowledge on a product I like being a leader. I am a fast learner and always eager to learn more by asking questions. I have spent the last 18 years in the oil & gas industry learning to talk to customers with confidence and transparency to accomplish the goal. I have the ability to deal with customers, vendors and production facilities both in person and over the phone to effectively handle all customer issues and find solutions.

Outside Sales Representative

L.F. Manufacturing
Stanton, TX

  • I was hired on with the company to help them grow their footprint into the Permian Basin for the oilfield.
  • I brought my experience and knowledge from Permian Tank and used it to build up my customer relationships.
  • My job requires me to keep in contact with current customers and find potential new customers via phone calls, emails, text messages, social media, office visits and travel to customer locations.
  • I handle customer's specific projects and provide budgetary numbers for future projects.

  • Recently we have grown to the point where we have gained the attention of NOV. In August of last year we were bought out by NOV - Fiber Glass Systems.
  • I am looking to potentially take my experience, skills and work ethic elsewhere to see what I can help grow next.

Inside Sales

Permian-Lide
Odessa, TX
07.2014 - 07.2018
  • I was with Permian-Lide for 4 years.
  • I began with Permian-Lide with no prior knowledge or experience of their products nor how to sell steel tanks, pressure vessels, free water knockouts, 3phase separators, VRTs, heater treaters, fiberglass tanks or any of their other equipment.
  • However, I was determined to learn, ask questions and caught on quickly.
  • When I started with the company I was 1 of 5 salesmen in the Permian Basin area and 2 others being inside sales.
  • After a little over 18 months the company decided to let go of their most experienced salesmen (20+ years) and left me as our only inside sales personnel in Odessa.
  • It showed me the confidence they had in me to do the same job as 4 people.
  • My main job function was to contact current customers and follow up on potential customers to bring more business and raise our revenue.
  • When I first started I would cold call customers and search for new product lines that we could enter. However, I quickly established good relationships with my customers and gained their loyalty.
  • I dealt with over 140 customers monthly but as our capacity started to overflow I had to pull back the amount of accounts I contacted on a regular basis.
  • I handle everything from the quote stage, to the order entry/scheduling, the follow up and the customer visits.
  • I have passion and the quick learning ability to work in any industry; oil field or not
  • At that time my most profitable customer took over $200k worth of equipment from me EVERY SINGLE week for a year and a half.
  • Gaining customer loyalty was key because with every price increase, delayed delivery and engineering issue my customers held firm with us.
  • I feel I can do that same job anywhere else with the right tools and the right team surrounding me.
