Mady Smith joins the team
I'm thrilled to announce that Mady Smith will be joining us at Awesome Outdoors Group effective immediately. You may have met Mady, as she has been helping at shows over the last year.
Mady will have several functions with us, but will be focusing on communications with dealers - making sure that they have all of the resources they need for success with each of our awesome brands. One of our goals at Awesome Outdoors Group in 2024 is to be touching our existing dealers every month and our prospective dealers every quarter, and she will be a big part of that, while my time is focused on visiting dealers in person, showing lines and other travel.
Mady is an Eastern North Carolina native who has had a passion for the outdoors and exploring for as long as she can remember. She spent several years as a sales associate and then buyer for one of the Southeast's iconic outdoor specialty retailers. In her free time, Mady can be seen relaxing in a hammock on local NC beaches or exploring the Western NC mountains. She enjoys spending time with her loved ones, is one of 7 siblings, and has 1 rescue dog who she adores. Mady is a lover of music and was classically trained as a vocalist, guitarist, and pianist during her studies for her Fine Arts Degree in Vocal Music. She enjoys traveling to local concerts to see her favorite musicians, has participated in local community music and theater productions, and continues to create original music as a hobby. In recent years, Mady’s love for the outdoors led her to pursue studies in environmental science where she hopes to learn more about conservation efforts to protect our coastal wetland ecosystems and our beautiful Earth as a whole! Mady currently resides in Raleigh, working to complete another degree at N.C. State.
To that end, please include Mady in all your sales rep communications. Her email is above. Mady will have limited ability to travel for in-person sales meetings, but when it works, we will try to get her there. Also, please let me know if I need to get a separate login for B2B access for her, or if she should just use mine. I expect she will be entering some POs and building whiteboards and collections for some dealers going forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you get to meet her soon - she's a pretty special young woman, and we're blessed to have her join us.
Thanks,
David.
