About Lindsey Long
I am a seasoned and results-oriented professional, credited with 25+ years of experience managing senior-level relationships, innovative product development, and retail sales cycles. With my proven track record of success and excellence, I have garnered a strong reputation for exceeding corporate and client objectives while improving efficiencies with internal and external partners. With my competitive nature, I continuously seek new market segments and assess operational problems to maintain the company\'s advantage in the competitive landscape. In this capacity, I build strong relationships and clear communications with clients and team members to innovate high-quality and often-times sustainable products that cater to customers\' needs while enabling business growth. Leveraging my relationship-building and communication skills, I foster a safe and collaborative culture within a fast-paced environment. Here are the notable highlights of my experience: • Supervised the NFL and NCAA product sales and assortments for 3K+ stores, generating $20M sales within the 8-year window. • Collaborated with 25+ vendors during the product development process and in-store promotions while handling production, logistics, and 10-person sales teams per client. • Ranked top 2% sales executive for ten consecutive years for two vendors by bringing $3M+ sales to each client annually. • Awarded the coveted role of \"Category Captain\" for Lowe\'s and Walmart by demonstrating a unique ability to break national programs down to a regional level-based customer preference. I am eager to work with a team that shares the same passion and dedication to developing and providing high-quality products and solutions for customer and company growth!
