Thursday, October 10th, 2013

Throughout her career, Melissa Ruzylo of Huntington Beach has established a reputation for setting high standards and ensuring that best practices are followed in the sales management and training field. She began her career in the industry as a district sales manager and trainer for Day Runner, the well-known supplier of time management tools for the consumer marketplace. Even in this initial position, Melissa made her mark by creating a policies and procedures manual that outlined standards for retail operations in the company’s brick-and-mortar stores.

Creating a consistent set of standards and best practices for retail outlets is a vital element in branding and name recognition in the consumer marketplace. Melissa’s efforts on behalf of Day Runner led to increased profitability and productivity throughout the newly opened store locations and ensured that staff members received the necessary training to implement these new policies in an effective way. In her next position as a director of Sephora, Melissa Ruzylo put the lessons learned at Day Runner to work and achieved exceptional success in sales and marketing:

• Customer service evaluations rose from 63 percent to 95 percent (satisfaction ratings)
• The average dollar sales amount increased by more than 20 percent
