• Sales Representative

  • Aug 2007 - Dec 2011

  During my time as a Sales Representative I have learned a lot about sales and store operations and the requirements to have an optimal work environment in order to perform at the highest level possible. I have consulted international customers from all over the world giving me an insight to different cultures, habits and customs. The experience I have gained in those years are still very helpful today as I am familiar with the retail mechanics from the bottom up.
