Sometimes you need a little extra money to pay for a roof on your house, so you get a retail job. Well, working at Apple Retail was a retail job like no other! It was engaging, challenging and, of course, very technical. I taught one-to-one classes and helped people learn to love their Macs by learning to use them. Also, I started doing some customer research for Apple, but I imagine that's as far as I can go without violating my confidentiality agreement. The Apple fun had to stop, though, when my marketing business got incredibly busy.

Marketing Manager
Lighthouse Carwash Systems, Inc.
(Consumer Services industry)
August 2001 — May 2008 (6 years 10 months)
I managed all aspects pertaining to marketing for Lighthouse Carwash.
For their retail locations, I developed and managed a loyalty card program along with on-site promotions and relationships with local car wash management. The Operations Manager and I coordinated installations and customer service resolutions. In a nutshell: we made the car washes profitable.
Lighthouse also sells their business model to investors and operators through licensing agreements and building sales. My efforts were focused on long-term relationship building with these potential and current clients. The Office Manager and I found clients through trade shows, internet advertising and other channels, developed sales materials for the clients explaining how they could start a profitable, sustainable car wash business and put them in contact with one of our salespeople. I continued the relationship with each client through the car wash design phase and managing the "Grand Opening" process for their site.
