John was in charge of marketing, staffing, and day to day business affairs for Home Health and Hospice in the Utah County area. John managed a team of 8-10 employees (nurses, CNA's, social workers, etc.) to take the best care of our patients in the community. He also was tasked to assemble a new team together and built the program from one hospice patient to a consistent census of sixteen in a year. John proved to be hard working and responsible in making this happen.
I partnered with a doctor of physical therapy in April of 2012 and we started a physical therapy company (Restore ME, LLC.). We had a great business plan to support the durable medical equipment companies with evaluations on power and manual wheelchairs. The physical therapist was president of clinical affairs while I was president of sales and operations. We quickly grew in a matter of a few short months but have since backed off to explore other business opportunities.
I started in customer service with them in April of 2006 and was promoted ten months later into respiratory sales. There I worked closely with many accounts including doctor offices, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted facilities. After doing that for a couple of years a moved into the power wheelchair devision of the company. I marketed to the same people that I did in respiratory only marketed a new product. I learned many skills with Petersen Medical such as: cold calling, time management, customer relations, sales management, goal setting, accountability, hardship, a lot of successes, and much more.
