Background

About Corey Wallace

I execute sales strategies and spearhead market growth within large retail chains and independent specialty grocers with a focus on relationship building, selling accounts what they need and doing whatever it takes to solve problems and get products to customers. The pay off is consistent achievement of sales and profitability goals. coreywallace713@gmail.com HIGHLIGHTS Expanded customer base 20% with marketing, advertising, and promotional campaigns. Won new accounts and increased sales in existing accounts. Achieved 120% to goal receiving recognition from senior leadership for the accomplishment. Boosted sales 10% annually for my own business by curating a value-added menu of services and products. DOING WHAT IT TAKES I have a reputation for remaining calm under pressure. With years of sales experience and having owned a business, I know there will be a solution. If it means I have to be the solution, I will do that, too. When a truck broke down on its way to Michigan, I transferred product all day and night from the truck to my accounts making sure each store had what they needed for the busy holiday season. This is one reason why I’ve exceeded targeted sales goals consistently throughout my career. LOVE OF LEARNING Dedicating time to my professional development is a priority. Learning makes me happy. Applying what I learn makes me more effective as a sales leader who expands territories and achieves sales targets. It’s also opened up opportunities. I use what I learn to solve problems for customers and support the company in the development of solutions to expand the business. My love of learning extends to my products. I know my products inside and out. I enjoy studying all aspects of the product from where it was grown to where it will be sold. MULTIFACETED TEAM PLAYER My success stems from my willingness to pitch in where needed to achieve our goal. I’ve worked as a driver, merchandiser, and pinch hit for others in the company when they needed it. This makes me an invaluable asset because I learn more than just sales and product; I learn other aspects of the business that make me more effective when delivering solutions to customers. Let’s connect to talk about hitting sales goals and expanding the product footprint in key accounts.
