Profile
I have solid sales and consulting experience in both the nonprofit and higher educaIon sector. I am experienced in planning, organizing, and implementing creative approaches to problems in organizational structures, complex sales processes and day to day operations. I have worked hard to gain excellent writing and verbal skills in English; strong intercultural and interpersonal skills with the ability to interact positively with clients and all levels of management. I am committed to high standards of integrity and I work well independently as well as part of a team. Finally, I am dedicated to learning new skills and approaches to achieve higher levels of excellence corporately and individually.

Portfolio

Below you will find a sample of the work I have completed over the past year at Gordon College. This portfolio includes my recent third quarter report, an infographic created to aid with closing on students, as well as links to social media strategies. Please click on the thumbnails to view.

Show and Tell. It’s so simple a kindergartner can do it. But when producing reports, the average sales representative is unable to cohesively and creatively explain their results. Using the popular inforgaphic, I put together a report showing my 3rd quarter results. Note: ACPT-Accepted Students. ACFM- Deposited Students or students I closed with.

One of the difficulties in sales is explaining the ROI to the client, especially in Admissions, where the investment is significant ($40,000+ per year). I created this inforgraphic that was distributed to all my clients explaining how one could afford an expensive private college. This, coupled with phone calls in which I emphasized the value of a private college education, enabled an 85% increase in sales. My supervisors were so impressed with this infographic that this will be a part of each student’s financial aid package in the future.

Through the use of Facebook,  Twitter and YouTube, I was able to engage with clients more frequently, easily answering questions and pushing information to them. I pioneered the use of social media in my office and my department plans on rolling out social media for all representatives next year. In addition to the use of social media, I encouraged the creation of multiple dynamic data reports that allowed our office to better understand our sales pool and make the most of our limited time.
