I was responsible for expanding company operations into the Philadelphia market, where I built relationships with schools and administrators to establish over 100 new accounts. In this role, I developed skills in business development, territory management, and client relationship building. I also gained hands-on experience in startup operations, learning how to introduce a brand to a new region, manage accounts at scale, and adapt strategies to meet local market needs. This experience strengthened my leadership, interpersonal-communication, and organizational skills while giving me valuable insight into how startups grow and scale their operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30442,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30442"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/7\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.mis.temple.edu\/connorott\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
