Mission StatementTo always strive for excellence with creativity and enthusiasm. To meet and exceed goals in an ethical, respectable, and professional manner. To work as an approachable member of a team and make valuable contributions to an organization as an individual. Why Sales?The sales field interests me because of its never-ending unpredictability. It requires the ability to be confident, quick thinking, and charismatic. Sales has potential to be lucrative, in the sense that one generally has control over their own salary. I enjoy meeting new people and am drawn to the field by the social aspect of informing and entertaining prospects and clients.A Brief on BlairMy current focus is on the prestigious Professional Selling Program at the University of Central Florida, in which I have been awarded recent acceptance for the class of 2011-2012. The Professional Selling Program is designed for students to gain real-world experience in sales through role playing, one-on-one mentor programs, and rigorous sales training.I will be graduating from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Marketing with a focus on Sales in May of 2012. After graduation, my goal is to represent a vibrant company where I can expand my professional knowledge and grow as an individual.Testimonials"In my current role, I employ a variety of sales associates at multiple levels within our organization. It was nice to see Ashlee exhibit many of the qualities that I look for when recruiting new sales associates." - Ron Miller, Orlando Branch Manager, HD Supply"Ashlee was a wonderful and diligent student at Olympia High School. She was an extremely motivated and intelligent young lady, who was well-rounded and effectively and appropriately balanced academics and extra-curricular activities." - John Puchein, AP Human Geography and History Teacher, Olympia High School"In every sales contest, Ashlee was always placed in the top five. Her per-person check average was well above the store average, as well as the company average. She proved to be resourceful and creative in her ability to up-sell and increase her check average. She was a positive influence on the other servers on and off the floor." - John Martin, Former Assistant General Manager Hooters of America
