Business, Management and Administration

Hello my name is Frederic. I'm currently a sales manager in an real estate office. Since a young age, I was really good at convincing people to buy me whatever I wanted. Every time I saw a toy I wanted, I pled to my mother to get it for me. She'd always say no at first. But in the end she'd give in after I used my magic negotiating skills (my mother's words) on her. As I grew up, that skill became very useful when I was selling things to people. To sell an object I used persuasive speech giving my opinion and judgement to clinch a deal. At garage sales, I'd have my small section with the junk I wanted to get rid of and every time someone would come and take a peek they left with an object that I had just sold to them. Often at the end of the day, my table would be empty and my pockets full of cash. My mom’s table was not as successful.

I always loved to engage in a conversation with a complete stranger and talk about anything that came to mind. I was never shy since my goal was to succeed and be happy by using a positive attitude. My father always said I was a determined young boy and an overachiever.

My first job, I worked in an electronics store and I was the new kid who was able to sell whatever a client wanted or needed. My boss was very impressed and suggested that I start a career in business since he believed I'd have the potential to become a successful business man. I followed his advice and I went to college to get my business degree.

The business I work for is striving. I recently got promoted to manager. I manage the sales of products and services for my company. I have to identify objectives, strategies, and action plans to improve any short or long term sales and earnings I make sure the sales are constant and profitable by planning deployment and management of sales personnel.
