Bio
Kevin Weiss
As Area Sales Director for the West, I had the great fortune of working with Tina who was responsible for leading the southwest region for TherapeuticsMD. In just 12 months with the company, Tina propelled the southwest to become the #2 ranked team nationally. An accomplishment which led to a well deserved PCLUB win for Tina in her first year with the company. Tina creates high performing team cultures by setting clear expectations, holding herself and others accountable, supporting the unique needs of every individual, and making sure there is always time for fun. Quite simply, she cares about people and is passionate about their success. Tina is highly competitive and consistently sets a high bar for achievement, and then works collaboratively with the team to ensure everyone has the right plan in place to hit their goals. She's an expert at navigating analytics tools which she effectively leverages to create more impactful business strategies. Tina spends most of her time working closely with each sales representative to better understand customer needs and business opportunities. As a peer leader she frequently contributes insights and ideas to advance the company's mission, and provides relevant field intelligence to senior leadership to ensure customer and patient needs are being met. If you're looking for an experienced sales leader who cares about people, works collaboratively to solve problems, understands how to create a winning team culture, and knows how to drive performance, I would wholeheartedly recommend Tina Samaras for your organization.

Knowing Tina for almost 20 years now, I can honestly tell you she is a woman who knows how to get things done efficiently, effortlessly and with grace. Although I have not had a real estate transaction with Tina, I know her work ethic and she is the one person you would want on your team to get "er' done! Tina's incredible work ethic and follow thru is above all else especially in this busy, non-stop, fast paced world we live in. She is most understanding and flexible to meet your needs and I highly recommend you get to know Tina as it will, too, be a long relationship built on mutual trust, regard, and the utmost respect.
