Mimeo.com
/ Proposals Specialist
2007 -
2008
At Mimeo, I wrote RFP responses to the numerous requests we received from large complex companies, putting all of my skills to use in different ways. I used SharePoint to create a knowledge base for the info, working to organize all the info from scratch. I led the team that selected the RFP database software (PMAPs) after a through review of the competing vendors out there and worked to implement the data conversion. I did some instructional design for product training and redid the new hire sales training on a moment's notice when the current trainer left unexpectedly, implementing an innovative hands on approach not previously in the program.
