PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Guys Floor Service Inc. 7/1998 to 12/2008
10275 E. 47th Ave, Denver, CO.
One of the largest flooring distributors in Colorado, annual sales approximately $50 M up to 500 employees.
Developed new production department, set standards for work ethic among upper management, managed multiple accounts with new and on going projects, constantly on a quest for product knowledge, managed office and field personnel as well as installation mechanics, pushed company profits through efficiency, quality, urgency and customer relations.
Selected Accomplishments:
Recognizing opportunity and determining need: Evaluated one phase of natural stone tile tops installation, determined that there was an opportunity to save dollars on labor, save time in our schedule, improve quality and bring more dollars to the bottom line. Developed a department to run and maintain the equipment in house, set up information and ordering forms, produced the finished product in time so the material could go out with the original job on schedule. Using company personnel instead of sub-contractors or installation mechanics, allowed us to meet the builders schedule dates, not have to make another trip, not tie up our mechanics, improve quality and pay less for the installed finished product, increased profitability.
Managed multiple accounts: Responsible for up to 12 builder accounts at one time, with most having multiple projects running simultaneously, throughout the front-range. Customers ranged from National to local builders: Ryland Homes, Richmond Homes, multiple custom builders, multiple commercial builders. A huge variety of finish products: hardwood (job and pre-finished ), ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles, vinyl, carpet and granite slab tops. Responsibilities ranged from estimating, bidding, ordering, scheduling, and managing multiple field supers and installation crews, and ultimately customer satisfaction of both the end user and the builder.
Todays informed and educated customers continually drive me to always be looking for new products and their best applications. I have continually researched the different installation requirements, repair methods, and claim procedures. A heavy dose of installation demonstrations, training seminars, and certifications was completed on a regular basis.
Customized customer relations: The builder needs to feel special. When problems arose, they needed solutions with a huge sense of urgency. The end user of a project may be a home owner or building owner, both of which have extremely high expectations and require attention to an overwhelming amount of detail. I appreciate the challenge of a tough customer and specialize in turning a bad situation into an opportunity. Each of my accounts wanted and expected different types of service. They all had their specific needs and requirements, their special schedules and their own anticipated results. With experience and effort, I customized short term associations into long term relationships, for many customers simultaneously.
