    • CROSSMARK, Johnson and Johnson Dedicated Team

      Dec 2008 - Sept 2018

      As a leader of a sales team of 6 supervisors and 100 sales representatives for Johnson and Johnson consumer goods, I ensure our team has productive sales activities and growth solutions in Walmart.Experience has taught me that 'what gets measured, gets done' and in line with this philosophy I monitor and analyze data and use it as a motivational tool to maximize sales; execution; display compliance; on shelf availability; and revenue efficiency.Our sales growth has been very substantial since participating in Walmart's LAG program.Part of our value lies in being able to derive instantaneous, live data from the field and to that end I ensure the client is receiving accurate and competitive insights from the field daily.In order to build cohesive; collaborative; and unified selling teams we engage the teams in regional and national meetings annually and to that end I develop and deliver presentations for national and regional meetings.In January 2016 we successfully launched a new product achieving 100% execution and 100% compliance.The last two years our region has seen the greatest revenue and the highest profit margin in the 10 year history of team. This increased profitability was accomplished by focusing on staffing; execution; and setting stretch goals.
