ABOUT PAULA K. WALKER

Highly energetic self-motivated sales representative with excellent marketing and business development skills. A results-orientated professional with a proven ability to gain access to category managers and key decision makers in National Drug; National Grocery; Mass Merchandising; Club Stores and Wholesalers to present and develop new business opportunities. My best feature is my ability to network and develop trusting relationships with brokers; assistant category managers; product development teams and regulatory personnel to get new products approved in an expeditious manner and also maintain and service current business. Areas of expertise: •Sales •Marketing •Customer Service•Inventory Control •Problem Solving •Technical Support•Negotiating •Administrative •Product Development•Meeting Planning •Executive Assistant •Purchasing•Trade Show PlanningMy past roles as a customer service representative; inventory control specialist; and technical support give me a competitive edge. I have a clear understanding of what occurs from the beginning stages of product development, each critical step afterwards until it ships, and what is necessary to market products. During my time at Pentaura Limited I was responsible for liquidating finished goods, raw materials, machinery and tools when the company closed. In this position I found very creative ways to move these items by reaching out to local businesses and also by turning the manufacturing facility in to a showroom open to the public to move finished goods. I hosted socials on Friday evenings to network and bring in potential buyers. My position at both EZE Products Inc. and ECC International was administrative support for the Advanced Technology Group and V/P of Technical Services. This required detailed work with MSDS, testing, purchasing, technical presentations and meeting planning. In this position I gained a lot of knowledge on product development and quality.
