It's hard to believe that I have been working with David Privitera for over a decade now! David has a long list of great characteristics, but at the top of the list is his honest work ethic, ability to turn problems into opportunity, and commitment to customer satisfaction. It has been a pleasure to work with David as members of the same team at Georgia Home Theater, and now as a representative of his favorite (at least it better be) speaker company. Dave, always a pleasure, and I wish you nothing but success! Eric Joy Regional Sales Manager Bowers & Wilkins

      • Jan 2015 - Present

      Hats have been a long-time passion of mine, and many of my friends and colleagues that know me are usually able to recognize me out of the crowd by my signature fedoras. I joined Parker Melvin at Falcon Park Hattery in 2015-ish to pursue one of my passions, making custom hats. Falcon Park Hattery specializes in custom fedoras for men and women. The women's hats are basically the same, except the ribbon is flipped to the other side. :) Our services are custom tailored to your head, so our fedoras come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and styles. Our Atlanta location offers cleaning, blocking, and refurbish services, as well. Turn heads and visit our web-site to complete your attire with a fine handmade hat!

  • GHT Group

    • 1 - 100 Employee
    • Senior Project Sales Specialist, DMC-D
      • Feb 2002 - Apr 2013

      As Senior Project Design Specialist, I coordinated and managed the entire sales process from prospecting to closing integrated residential and commercial solutions throughout the Southeast that improve lifestyles using innovative, high-end, and luxury electronics. I designed company-wide sales tools for project scopes, such as Excel proposals and analytic spreadsheets that have helped shorten sales cycles and forecast profitability. Team focused with management experience of multiple large scale projects, providing design documentation and responsibilities to contractor partners for project implementation. From 2004 to 2009 I demonstrated consistent profit margin, total profit, and revenue growth YOY, receiving multiple sales awards and bonuses. In 2008 I became the first GHT individual sales rep to generate $1mil total annual revenues, a personal goal and achievement. I have continued to grow my annual revenues from 2010 to 2012. Much of my business was generated within a showroom environment, over the phone, web, and client referrals. I've developed creative retail merchandising and product marketing / placement strategies to increase revenue by enhancing brand awareness and service offerings. In 2011 I led a team to convert our conference room to a large showcase room to demonstrate more solutions, generate revenue, and provide a more engaging experience for potential customers. Interior design was also important in my day to day work. I prepared 3-dimensional room renderings and plans with Google SketchUp for clients that required visual representations of how their completed environment would look. This helped me close significant business and land unique jobs. It's been a joy over the years to forge and develop such great relationships with my valued clientele; such as high profile doctors, lawyers, executives, and celebrities. Building client confidence and trust has been a key skill that has helped me to be successful in all that I do! Show less

  • Advance Warning Security
    • Roswell, GA
    • Head Technician / Installation Manager
      • Jan 1995 - Jan 1998

      Advanced Warning Security is a service driven company that focuses on customer satisfaction and retention. I worked at AWS in high school and college; it certainly helped prepare me for a professional future in operations, project management, sales, and customer relationships. My initial responsibility was to install home and business security systems, as well as video monitoring and surveillance cameras. During my time there, I received additional roles to develop quality control checklists and process management documentation, which helped to reduce the frequency of return trips and redundant service calls. This led to lower overhead and higher profit margins. Toward the end of my experience at AWS, I began to interview and hire incoming co-op service technicians from Southern Polytechnic State University. As Installation Manager, I delegated tasks to the installation crews to meet service level agreements and high quality standards. I provided off and on-site technical support both to the installation crew and to clients. This role helped me to understand how to communicate with both technical minded people within AWS and non-technical people, such as our end users. Show less
