Show less Skills developed: influence without authority; negotiation; field marketing executionAs territory manager, it was my job to grow sales of motor oils and greases through eight multi-branded distributorships. Influence without authority was critical in this role as getting buy-in from distributors that my brand was the best to sell was critical. In this role, I cold-called, leveraged lead generation databases, and expanded/upgraded business with existing accounts. I developed annual plans to identify key sectors and geographies and created marketing programs to support that growth. I also trained distributor reps and B2B customers on the brand, product, and applications for them to better upsell their customers. My territory’s annual sales revenue totaled $13.6 million- Grew distributor focus on Mobil-branded products with sector-specific programs, customized marketing support and relationships built on transparency (8% volume increase year over year).- Improved unit gross margin (13% year over year) with strategic growth: assessed market to identify prospects, developed sales strategy and marketing plan, and managed execution by distributor sales representatives.- Increased premium product sales (7% year over year) with focus on education to drive retention and trust.

In this role, I quickly learned how to navigate a global organization and to lead third-party agencies.
