Emerald Expositions
Account Executive | 03/2016 - Current
It is worth noting that I sincerely enjoy working with my Sales Director. She has given me the tools needed to be a successful Sales Representative for the tradeshow I work on. I currently am developing and maintaining strong business relationships within my account base in our event space. I call them to say hi or to put together a sponsorship package that will meet their marketing objectives and show ROI expectations. I’m constantly working to improve win-backs and renewal retention by generating awareness of the new things our show is doing to enhance attendee experiences. Focusing on incorporating SalesForce into my day-to-day operations has improved my efficiency with customer prospecting, retention and growth.
Key Achievement: Generated 46% of the total show revenue in 2016 (increase of 8% from year prior). Assigned territory customer base increased 9% in 2017. This year, my territory sales represents 68% of the total show revenue.

Key Achievement: Designed and coordinated an incentive program for the Hang Ten Bikes brand resulting in increased unassigned territory bicycle category sales by 83% in the first year.
