Here, I fostered strong professional relationships with each major account and distributor while focusing on consistently maximizing and increasing market share through existing dealers as well as new dealer acquisition. I leveraged data and analytics to calculate business drivers and trends as well as translating those trends for the field team. • Engineered 20% increase in territory sales, aggressively growing business by working with major accounts as well as distributors to close largest “buy ins” prior to annual price increases and allowing customers to capitalize on savings during pool building boom in the pandemic and earning customer loyalty. • Optimized market dynamics and profitable sales, leveraging data/analytics to assess business drivers and trends while keeping informed about regional competitive landscape.
