Sales and customer recovery leader focused on results and excellent service.
What I'm looking for
I help organizations drive measurable outcomes by resolving customer account balances and converting interest into action. In my most recent role as a Recovery Agent Sales representative, I consistently met monthly goals through outbound calls to past-due accounts and inbound conversations with current students to process payments.
I bring leadership and process improvement from roles including Team Manager and Executive Assistant. At ThriveWorks, I set and accomplished self-directed goals to empower associates, standardize Quickbooks workload and documentation, improve customer service skills, and decrease turnover for a team of 10ā15 members.
Earlier in my career, I led revenue-focused sales execution and growth. As Director of Sales at La Quinta Inn & Suites, I managed corporate sales accounts and group/event bookings for 120 rooms, performed market research to support revenue management, and handled guest satisfaction issues while also leading hiring and management of a Sales Coordinator.
