Please know, that this recommendation I'm writing here, is heartfelt and true. I wanted to write this recommendation to share my experience, so others will understand why Taryn is an exceptional Sales Manager. Taryn is an experienced and successful salesperson in her own right. She understands the challenges salespeople face daily. She's done it! She knows how to be successful and shared her knowledge and insight with her team. To new salespeople she was a sales mentor. I was proud to be part of her sales team. The entire team respected and valued her. She respected us and was able to identify strengths and work with us on developing our selling skills so we could be our best. This shared respect made us want to work hard for her. When the Saskatchewan team was awarded Team of the Year, it proved her management approach works! We were happy, we produced results and shared our successes as a TEAM. We felt supported. We felt motivated. We had the shared vision, the drive and desire to be successful. As a salesperson my entire life, she is the type of manager you hope to work for. Every professional salesperson wants to be successful & enjoy their work. Personally, I enjoyed working with Taryn everyday. Honestly. I really did. I miss her as I am no longer working with the company. My respect for her remains. Working for Taryn was a great experience.
