This letter is my personal recommendation for Megan Sparks. Megan was employed with Limbach Company in her position as Sales and Marketing Expeditor from 2011 - 2015. Megan did an excellent job in this position and was an asset to our organization during her tenure with Limbach. During the first year of her employment, I was Megan's immediate supervisor. I found her to be a fast-learner and adaptable to the ever-changing needs of our office. She tackled all assignments with dedication and a smile. Besides being a joy to work with, Megan is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, can work independently and proved herself as dependable on all tasks performed. Megan developed several marketing plans for our company, both locally and nationally. During her tenure, we saw an increase in revenue that was a direct result of the sales and marketing initiatives she implemented. Megan always took the initiative to go above and beyond the standard to improve our company presence and forecast industry trends. While Megan was a great asset to our sales and marketing team, she was also extraordinarily helpful in various other areas of the company. She assisted in the office management and clerical functions of our facility, played a key role in planning internal and external meetings/events and assisted in the development of our safety and wellness program. Megan was always eager to offer her assistance and was proactive about improving the streamlining of office procedures. Megan had an excellent rapport with both fellow employees and the many constituents served by our office, including clients and professional organizations. I highly recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue. Megan is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.

As Megan’s direct manager I had the pleasure to work with her as she supported our sales efforts and worked to broaden the Limbach brand in Ohio. Megan’s calm demeanor during stressful situations and ability to meet deadlines and build proposals was truly a valuable asset that she possesses. In addition to her daily support of the sales team Megan was instrumental in creating the branch's first Marketing Plan that included industry analysis, strategies, budgeting, templates, promotions, events and corporate sponsorships that was sent to all other branches to set the standard of what they should aim for. I would definitely recommend Megan for a sales and marketing role in Construction or any role that requires strong communication and organization skills along with creative writing and branding strategies.
