Background

About Shea Cannon

I began my outside sales career in 1996 after working as a server, bartender, and restaurant manager at Kiawah Island Resort and Stax Grill in Greenville, SC. I took my hardworking and dependable mentality and applied it to sales and marketing. Within the first year of sales, I was promoted to Head Salesman in Columbia, SC, and I was given the opportunity to buy into the franchise. I seized that opportunity, and over the course of 13 years, I expanded my ownership from one office to over five offices in three states. We sold the company in 2013, and I continued my service until 2014. I was then offered a position with Bank of America Merchant Services, which lasted for four years. When my wife was given the chance to advance her career, we decided that one of us needed to be more available for our two young sons at home. As a result, I left Bank of America and took a job as a bus driver for Lexington School District One. I held that role until my children required less attention for school and sports. My desire to return to sales was undeniable. I subsequently took on a role with iHeartMedia as an Account Executive in advertising, where I thrived in the B2B sales environment. I enjoyed using my sales skills to help others grow their businesses. While working at iHeart, I became more involved in my church. Mt. Horeb offered me the opportunity to develop my own position, and I became the Assistant Facilities Manager for over six years, acquiring an entirely new set of skills in that role. In 2024, I decided to move back to Greenville, SC. While searching for my next position, I sought new challenges but wanted to remain in sales and service. PT Solutions provided me with the opportunity to do just that. I discovered that I missed the thrill of hunting for new business and building relationships. I am passionate about outside sales and the pursuit of new business opportunities. My goal is to make a difference in companies’ efficiencies by providing superior solutions to their needs. I am looking for a company that is a leader in its industry, one that fosters a culture of growth and promotes a healthy work-life balance. I excel at hunting for business through cold calling, networking, and referrals. I am a professional negotiator, sales presenter, and service provider. I value long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial and can endure into the future. A company that hires me will gain a loyal, hardworking, and dependable sales professional who will not only meet goals but consistently exceed them.
