Having graduated from the University of Texas, Summa cum Laude with a degree in education, Kim had no idea where that background in imparting information to others would lead her.
While working at Dell Computer Corporation she was the only individual to sell more than $1 million over the telephone in one month, and repeated this in seven consecutive months. Kim was invited to train others to do what she did…and so started her career in training and motivational support. She was responsible for developing business strategies and plans leading to replacing the department which enjoyed first place in profitability, with the department that had previously come in last. She created and implemented two new sales divisions that were adopted worldwide; interviewed, hired and trained national account executives; wrote and conducted management training seminars for managers worldwide; and wrote and facilitated training and program development of the direct operation.
At IBM, Kim managed five senior sales managers and over 100 sales representatives. She restructured their sales organization, reducing the total number of sales representatives by 20%, while increasing sales by more than 30%; and created the Customer Advocate Department.
For the last 14 years, Kim has been creating and providing consulting and training to firms from CompUSA to Waste Management, including customized emphasis on Management and Leadership Skills; Interviewing and Hiring Practices; Customer Services; Intra-Office Relationships; Business Plans and Implementation; Sales Management, Recruiting and Sales Production; Coaching to Promote Continuing Success. Kim is a member of the International Coach Federation.
Kim introduced the concept of training staff, followed by training the managers to coach and continue enforcement of the new strategies and practices.
