  District Sales Manager

  I successfully transitioned from Sales Associate to District Manager, where I oversaw a team of 10 Marketing Associates. I led recruitment, training, and ongoing coaching initiatives to maximize team performance. I effectively educated large customer groups on the benefits of private brands, driving business conversions. As a strong advocate for employee development, I mentored associates for 7 years, coached several to receive company awards and promotions, and implemented a dedicated team member to train and integrate a Customer Relationship Management tool. I also excelled in key company initiatives, serving as a District Computer Trainer, Market Mover Champion, and trainer for the Product List Editor for new Marketing Associates. Show less
