September 1993 — December 1999 (6 years 4 months)
I began my real estate sales career with Remax Saskatoon as an assistant to my father who mentored me and helped me develop a solid foundation for my future business. I really enjoyed my time with this company and learned a lot about the real estate business. The opportunity given to me at Royal LePage provided additional challenges and opportunities which didn't exist for me at Remax.
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Broadcast Media industry)
June 1987 — August 1993 (6 years 3 months)
I worked at Rawlco Radio as a sales person for C95FM in Saskatoon under the direction of sales manager Cliff Lesko. I give Cliff and Rawlco a lot of credit for helping me to learn that "selling" is not so much about closing the sale, as it is about discovering a good fit between your product and the client's needs. My primary responsibilities included helping clients prepare and implement advertising campaigns utilizing a mix of various media.
(Furniture industry)
May 1984 — January 1987 (2 years 9 months)
Grosvenor Fine Furniture was my first job after high school. I started there in the furniture warehouse where I worked for about six months until I was offered an opportunity to try my hand at sales. My boss at the time, Joe Butzelaar provided good support through training and taught me how to work with people in a retail environment. Colleagues, Bob Belanger, Terry Prevost and Randy Butzelaar provided additional mentorship and helped me develop some professional skills as a salesperson.
