“
Andrea’s wide ranging experience in the sports industry brings not only a wealth of knowledge, but an amazing network of colleagues to also bounce ideas off of. She is the first trainer we’ve brought in that supported the idea of blurring the lines between sales and service which is exactly what we needed.
Her training and mentorship has been incredibly helpful and I can’t wait to continue to work with her in the future.
