Before I came to Skyline as an Account Executive, I spent 15 years on the other side of the industry. My marketing career began as a trade show event coordinator, and later, manager, with one of several companies and as a customer of Skyline. My experience in both realms of the industry has allowed me to relate to and engage with my current customers in an empathetic and knowledgeable way. Let me share what I’ve learned, as it may help you too.

Recently, a friend of mine was complaining to her husband that, when she asks certain people at work for information pertaining to a client or a pending issue, they tend to provide only part of the information requested, or they don’t think far enough into the request to answer any questions that may arise from the information they gathered. Then she has to get back on the phone and ask for more information, taking up more of the time she doesn’t have to spare.
