Tenacious Sales and Idea person
I've had an exciting career and recently decided to test out a semi-retirement mode. I miss the energy of working and looking for freelance opportunities.
I spent most of my career working from a Seattle based office or home office. Much of it was working for companies based elsewhere, but I was over the NW territory. I am now living in Palm Desert, CA.
My early career was spent in new product introductions and helping two cosmetic companies launch their products at Nordstrom. These companies included: Johnson and Johnson, Revlon, Swatch Watches, Donna Karan Beauty, and SmashBox Cosmetics.
Phase 2...I transitioned into media sales in 2000 and had the good fortune of working for iHeart, CBS, and McClatchy Interactive. I was in the digital space at both CBS and McClatchy. I was chosen to open the Seattle market for Clear Channel Total Traffic and most recently worked for the reinvented version of this company, now TTWN. We sold National, Regional and Local short form advertising next to Traffic and Weather reports.
I have diverse skills, can cross different industries, cold call, set appointments, help with account management, manage campaigns, provide customer service, manage the complaint booth, or any other things that take up your time and hold you back from expanding your business. I love to brainstorm and have good ideas. While not a marketing manager, I know how to manage projects, find sponsors for events, manage promotions, buy media, analyze performance, and assist sales people in research, proposals and finding creative ways to close a sale.
Work Terms
I need to telecommute from the Palm Springs, CA area and prefer not to travel. I am open to full or part time opportunities
