Experience:
Senior Sales Consultant

Internet Sales Manager
10/2003 – 01/2007, Sunrise Ford Company, Fort Pierce, FL
As Internet Sales Manager my responsibilities include the following: Creating and maintaining website traffic through a targeted marketing strategy on and off the web; Creating and maintaining a database of all customers email addresses; Designing and implementing a customer friendly process to transform leads into appointments and appointments into sales. Additionally, my responsibilities require that I maintain the sales team’s high awareness of market trends as they relate to the Internet savvy customer. While at Sunrise Ford I was responsible for facilitating a 350% increase in Internet sales, guiding the department from a starting average of 6 sales per month to an average of 21 sales per month. This increase allowed the dealership to realize $31,500 in added gross profit per month.
Internet Sales Representative
05/2002 – 10/2003, Velde Ford Inc, Vero Beach, FL
I began my time with Velde Ford as a Sales Associate in the New and Pre-Owned Vehicle Department and after some time noticed that the ecommerce side of the business was being neglected. To that end I developed the processes and procedures for capitalizing on that business from the ground up. Through the development of the Internet Sales Department I was able to expand my skill set to include data management, process structuring and evaluation, and goal setting and fulfillment.
Specialist (E-4) Counterintelligence Agent (97B)
06/1999 – 04/2002, United States Army, Grand Rapids, MI
As a Counterintelligence Agent I was trained to supervise and conduct, or assist in conducting, counterintelligence surveys and investigations of individuals, organizations, and installations, and activities to detect, identify, assess, counter, exploit and neutralize threats to national security. I performed threat intelligence collection assessments as part of the threat vulnerability process relating Foreign Intelligence Services threat and recommended countermeasures utilizing Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence reporting and communications standards. It was my time as a member of the United States Army that many of my core values were refined or established. Among those core values, which I still hold as important in both my personal and professional life, are loyalty, duty, respect, selfless-service, honor, integrity and personal courage.
