  I assisted major chain restaurant customers in a competitive and fast-paced environment with order placement, returns, tracking, problem resolution, and product research. I constantly developed and maintained strong customer relationships. I also created quotations and converted product questions into sales by emphasizing essential features and benefits that can solve an operational problem, increase productivity, or reduce the total cost of ownership. I successfully managed difficult or emotional customer situations through investigation and with a focus on positively resolving conflict. Show less
