1. Senior Territory Manager

   Home Trends & Design

   Jun 2017 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   Home Trends and Design is an heirloom quality, solid hard wood manufacturer focusing on sustainable design with impeccable craftsmanship. I work as the Territory Manager the Eastern half of the U.S. In addition to my role as Territory Manager, I also play a key role in product development for new collections for HTD and am the lead designer for our vignette photography with Kreber Studios.As a territory manager I work directly with the owners and buyers for multiple retail locations in the Eastern part of the US including Stickley, Jordan\'s, HOM, Hudson\'s, Furnitureland South, Stock & Trade, etc. Since starting my position, I have more than doubled the amount of revenue generated from my territory and brought on multiple key furniture players to the company. As a Territory Manager, I wear many hats. I work primarily out of our distribution center in Austin, TX and communicate directly with the owner of the company and with our warehouse. This allows me to have the most up-to-date information for my clients, and am easily able to quickly respond to any questions they may have about stock, construction details and shipping. Communication with buyers is crucial, but so is training their sales teams on our product. I spend about 30% of my time conducting product knowledge seminars and training, visiting clients, and prospecting new potential accounts.Through these interactions with my clients I am able to work directly with the owner and our factories to create new products. Home Trends & Design owns the factories where 90% of our line is manufactured so we have the capability to create exclusive product for some of our key accounts such as Jerome\'s, Arhaus, and Haverty\'s.I work with my client\'s and their sales teams to find the PERFECT pieces for their stores and their clients, and I can help you do the same;) So feel free to contact me if you are interested in learning more about our product.
