  Southwestern Advantage

  Jul 1999 - Jan 1999

  Business Manager

  A great opportunity following university to set up my own business selling door to door in the US working for Southwestern Publishing Company (the opportunity is now called Southwestern Advantage). This opportunity taught me a great deal about myself, working most weeks 40+ hours. I built a great reputation in the local area as a person parents should talk to in order to support their children's education. I was responsible for everything, finding accommodation, buying a car, managing ordering, inventory, balance sheets. Due to my success in the first month I was quickly asked to attend Presidents club calls and lead a team within our org to coach and share what good looks like so that we could foster a culture of learning.

  Derby Evening Telegraph

  Field Sales Executive

  Sold in many departments, the last 12 months I was responsible for all advertising in both newspaper/ online and the Auto Weekly publication. I grew the Auto Weekly publication from an average weekly revenue from £6k per week to £25k per week in this time. I would manage the entire advertising campaign from selling the campaign, designing the advert/s with the customer, working with the CAD designers at DET, proofing and meeting internal advertising cut off times. I could then demonstrate the value to the customer that the campaign had created by increased sales/ footfall. Minder weergeven
