Shores of Denmark

• Retail

• Sales Manager - Hotel division

  • Aug 2010 - Aug 2012

  Shores of Denmark is a manufacturer of high quality outdoor furniture and fabrics. With an extremely proactive and systemically approach, I succeeded in building the Hotel Division for Shores of Denmark. Starting from zero and with a main focus on creating valuable solutions for the customers, we archived the first larger order 3 months after launching the Hotel Division. Adding extra value for the customers, in the form of a high degree of service, convenience, and integrity was the key factor for our success in a market with increasing competition. With the strategy of starting out by delivering smaller fabric orders like refurbishments and cushion orders, we were able to prove that we are a reliable and trustworthy supplier, which eventually gave us the opportunity to be considered for larger furniture replacements at the hotels. An example of a valuable solution for the customer. When purchasing new furniture or remodeling an entire area, like a pool area or balconies, the hotels often hire an interior designer or architect to make a design layout for a better outcome and not having to deal with design layout themselves. This is an extra expense for the hotels. Therefore I started a collaboration with Marisol Creed, a former RTKL designer, and together we were able to provide the customers with complete package solution of beautiful design layout with furniture and fabrics delivered to the door.
