Bio
Mike Nielsen
When it comes to sales management, Kay ranks at the top. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kay both as a peer and as her General Manager. She always sets the bar high not only for herself but for her team. Achieving sales goals/quotas is Kay’s
Jay Howard
Kay is a tireless worker with an unmatched competitive drive. In an Account Executive role managed by Kay during my tenure at YP, Kay made my job fun and and did a great job making it simple to focus on selling. I had some of my best quarters while managed by Kay and was the recipient of numerous awards under her leadership. We had a great team dynamic and a camaraderie that is rare in our industry. I will incorporate Kay's work ethic into my own style for the remainder of my career.
Kevin Norman
Kay is a very talented account manager who uses her excellent communication and relationship building skills to serve her clients in ways that help them put together effective marketing programs. Kay is passionate about maintaining long term relationships with her clients and it shows by the number of her clients that continue to grow their programs with her. There are few colleagues that I trust to manage my clients in my absence, and Kay is someone that I can always trust.
