Rotex Mfg & Dist

• Sales Rep - Janitorial & Industrial Supplies - Fraser Valley Territory

  • Sep 1997 - Nov 1999

  Increased Revenue and Sales through end user sales and distributor sales of Janitorial Supplies and Industrial Wipers. We were a distributor for a few Janitorial product manufacturers but we also manufactured a product line of our own which was mostly sold wholesale through outside industrial distributors, so while I mainly focused on growing end-user business with certain products, I was responsible for managing the wholesale distributor accounts accounts as well. This was an excellent learning experience for me in my first real sales job. Show less
