      As an Account Manager at W.W. Grainger I managed a territory that is made up of 20 strategic customers from Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Healthcare, Air Transportation, Distribution, and Utility. The annual sales I generate is roughly $2.1M. I helped my customers reduce wasted time, save space by reducing inventory, and finding cost effective alternates to help save money. Accomplishments include: Finished first half of 2013 #1 on team in over prior growth (13.5% ahead of team growth) Team lead for customer online shopping pilot (4/13) Finished Q1 2013 at 101.7% to goal. Finished second in our region (out of roughly 100 AM's) for most Inventory Management installs in 2012. Featured in national and global internal publications for work done with specific customer (8/12) Earned regional award for "Have a Winning Attitude" (Q1 2010) I have also led presentations in front of large customer groups as well as higher level internal meetings. I am always willing to help make our team better and constantly looking for ways to improve my own processes. Show less
