Background

About Tim Hassler

I’m often described as different which naturally is going to require a different kind of “About Me” section, divided into two sections: 1. What Companies Feel is Important 2. What I Feel is Important 1. My career spans various industries & roles amassing significant experience that underscores my proven success in transitions. I began with a solid base in sales for Penske Truck Leasing where I thrived in escalating sales roles, mastering value-centric closures at premium rates. I prematurely left Penske to revitalize Synergy Animal Products, my father’s struggling company, orchestrating a transformative 3-year sales and marketing strategy. The first year yielded record-breaking revenues, spiraling into a 450% growth within my 3.5-year tenure. Segueing into corporate gifting with Godiva Chocolatier and WOOPS! Macarons marked a polar shift. Within 3 months, I outperformed preceding annual sales, and then upholding this prowess at WOOPS! I later returned to Godiva, spearheading a National Account Manager role. Navigating transition, I revitalized a $14M portfolio, steering it toward robust contributions in a transformative phase. My strategic finesse manifested in increased sales and profitability. When I discuss my personal endeavors and projects, it generally fields a response with wide eyes & shock. My upbringing on a dairy farm in an entrepreneurial family is where I developed my business acumen, strong work ethic, desire to learn, & exceptional problem-solving skills that yielded my professional success. My problem-solving skills extend beyond conventional claims – recalling an instance of rescuing a cow wedged between concrete & steel at the age of 8 with nobody home to help - epitomizing my ability to problem solve in high-pressure situations. This wasn’t a skill I learned, it was one I lived but learned to apply to daily tasks. Beyond my 9 to 5, I am a real estate investor and house flipper, backed by a construction-infused upbringing. My entrepreneurial endeavors started at age 8, intensified at 14 when I started an online business selling wholesale MLB jerseys imported from overseas. These undertakings paved the way for my continuation of starting & selling businesses, most recently in starting a mountain biking apparel brand to support my goal in helping animal rescues and shelters. Summary With limited words, this is the best representation of who I am as a person & the drivers behind my professional success. I am a person with a strong business acumen, true problem-solving skills, exceptional adaptability, & a thirst for knowledge.
