  • Area Sales Manager - 8 State Territory

    • Jul 1998 - Jun 1999
    • Lebanon, Tn

    I called on current and prospective customers (distributors) by phone and personal contact in an 8 state territory which I traveled regularly. I established solid relationships with many of our prospective customers and cultivated that until we could get the quality of our product to an acceptable level. The company needed a new door machine which was quite expensive and the quality of what we were producing was not acceptable to many customers so we reduced the price and sold the product as a lower grade to those customers who used seconds. Unfortunately, the company did not invest in the new equipment while I was with the company
