As General Manager, I was directly responsible for supervision of and support for a staff of fifteen people including seven retail salespeople, showroom manager, two outside salespeople, a marketing coordinator, an operations manager and all support staff. A large part of what I did was to network in the community to build our profile as the première green building materials retailer in the Pacific Northwest.

My job was primarily centered in three areas – sales, marketing and website coordination. As a salesperson, I worked with design professionals and individual retail clients selling high-end area rugs. The marketing aspect of my job required that I create, refine, implement and track marketing materials. Finally, I coordinated the re-launch of the company website, which incorporated many of my ideas and visions for a successful, artistic and profitable site. This website was undergoing constant additions, revisions and being monitored for traffic and usage – all of which I oversaw.
