• Director of Sales

  • Feb 2008 - Aug 2015

  As Director of Sales for PlaneClear, I implemented sales and marketing strategy for growing retail/wholesale charter clients. Additionally, I developed company sales collateral and oversaw wholesale outreach and retail marketing efforts. I managed charter sales processes for quoting and service delivery, while striving to hit company revenue goals and maximize aircraft capacity utilization. Furthermore, it was important that I implemented and maintained good follow up relationship for both wholesale and retail clients. As Director of Sales, it was of utmost importance that I sustained a strong knowledge of the current global charter marketplace, and that I represent PlaneClear at industry events while seeking face-to-face opportunities with existing and prospective charter clients. Moreover, I often qualified leads generated form marketing efforts, follow up and close sales, and assisted in the growth of the company by interviewing, hiring and training prospective sales personnel.
