Sales, Customer Experience & Training Manager

• Nov 2018 - Present

It is my responsibility to properly qualify any potential owners that express interest in our Ranger R7 aircraft to make sure that the aircraft is a good fit them, & that the Ranger will meet their expectations. I then shepherd the qualified potential owner through the purchase process, ensuring that every experience they have with Vashon Aircraft is a positive one. Once the aircraft is completed, I coordinate a time & location to deliver it to the new owner, & then conduct up to ten (10) hours of transition training with them, so that they will be a safe & fully proficient Vashon Ranger pilot. Again, ensuring that all experiences with myself & Vashon Aircraft are positive ones. Show less
