Summary

I managed my own landscaping company throughout school learning many things along the way. I learned how to manage my money, accounts, inventory, equipment, vehicles, and most importantly my relationships with my customers. I learned how to value my time. I sold jobs and encouraged work. Made deals with suppliers to lower prices on materials and give my customers a better deal. Offering better prices than my local competition. I moved on to other jobs and through those jobs I got to gain more and more experience working with customers on a larger scale. These customers spend thousands of dollars on the services I provided they wanted perfection. As an employee I did my very best to give them the perfection they deserved through my work. Many problems were solved and worked out with these customers. This experience makes me more than confident in my abilities to sell, manage, problem solve, negotiate, or even gain new customers. My goal is perfection. Every day I strive to take steps closer to that goal through everything I do.
