Erik Anderson: Assistant Manager/Sales Representative in Rocklin, CA

In my first year as a sales representative I out performed my more seasoned colleagues and I finished in the top 5 out of 30 sales reps. I did this through hard work, and perseverance. After 3 years of selling, I was given the opportunity to help lead a team. In my fourth year, I helped to motivate my team by consulting with the manager, and planning regular incentives. We held training meetings every morning during the week, to help the team overcome any objections that they may have been encountering. By the end of the Summer, we achieved our office goal, and I finished as the number one sales rep in our office.

Started up my own brand as a senior project. Provided lots of hands on experience with marketing, and finance. In the space of 9 weeks, my brand did $12,000 in sales, and was experiencing a growth rate of 15% per week in revenue. Loving life, and would love to learn from professionals on how to manage a brand.

Had the privilege of working for the University to beautify the grounds. During the winter months, my responsibility was to wake up early in the morning, and remove the freshly fallen snow from pathways and steps. In the spring time, we resumed regular landscaping duties.

I learned how to interact with people effectively. I enjoyed keeping them entertained while I bagged their groceries and assisted them to their vehicles.

My duties as maintenance staff member were to keep the facilities clean and organized for the members.

As a sweets baker, it was my job to prepare all the non-bread items for the day. Under a tight schedule I would produce fine quality baked goods, and have them on the shelves for purchase by 7:00 am.
