Title: A and D Specifications Sales Representative, Legrand
Background: I began my sales career in residential roofing and siding sales for a contractor based out of Philadelphia. I was then given the opportunity to work for a different company owned by the same person as a public insurance adjuster in Hawaii. After 6 months in that role, they offered me a transfer to Philadelphia which is when I decided to pursue other opportunities. At that time, I went to work for a sales and marketing optimization company and held roles selling HVAC equipment as well as working as an inside sales rep for Legrand. I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to work directly for Legrand in March of 2016 and moved to Chicago for that opportunity. I am now an A&D Specification Sales Representative in charge of showroom training for our distributors as well as A&D specifications sales.
