ABOUT JACKIE
By age 19, managing multiple stores
CVS Pharmacy Assistant Training Store Manager. Specialized in New Store Set-Up, Inventory Management, and Store Relocations
Challenges: youngest team lead, most employees were 7+ years senior, felt like I had to prove myself, felt like I had to be the best (worked dawn till dusk). Paid off: received Associate of the Quarter for the whole Oklahoma City region, so ended on a high note.
By age 22, Regional Training Manager
Walgreens Pharmacy Training Manager
In Orange County, Worked in over 17 stores in 3-month timeframe. Specialized in New Store Set-Up, Inventory Management, Department Management and Employee Training
Challenges: started in OK and moved to CA and worked with Managers who had not been trained by experienced people so the depth/quality of training previously was lacking. So I had to re-train employees, fill in gaps where they were not properly trained… Demonstrate how it felt (good/bad) working for a giant corporation like WAL).
By age 24, heading a global martial arts membership team. 1st American Employee
International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) Start-Up Company
Specialized in client retention, customer relations, employee training and SOPs.
Challenges: language barrier (because I don’t speak Portuguese) and we had clients from all over the world (Brazil, Italy, US, Japan, Russia). Google Translate became my best friend - PROBLEM SOLVER, learned to take initiative. No one gave me language training, I had to figure out how to communicate across multiple cultures, cultural norms, and time zones and build client retention. There was no on-boarding training process of any kind and I had to create and develop that system so we could hire more American employees.
By age 28, heading Client Relations, with Guest Prep in three cities nationwide (Austin, TX, Washington, DC, and Denver, CO). Specialized in client retention, marketing strategies, customer relations, employee training/scheduling, P&L, and SOPs.
GuestPrep, Operations Manager & Client Relationships Manager Denver, CO. Client Relationships Manager Austin, TX and Washington DC
Challenges: Going to a smaller startup had a more family feel and I got to learn ALL sides of a business because you have to wear more hats and fewer people are doing the work. Compared to the more limited scope of job experience one receives at a big corporation where you’re highly specialized in doing one thing well. Worked with really different demographics because of the cultural differences in these 3 cities and learned how to be successful in each market and meet their specific needs.
By age 32, branching out on her own.
Grew 3 Wildling Brands in less than 1 year
Wildling Botanicals | Wildling Herbs | Wildling Dream Consulting
Jackie, you are amazing. I don't know where I would be without you. You always are there to walk me through any business problems I have. I couldn't have done my business without you.
- Sabrina
I do not know how you do all of this and do it without getting stressed out. I struggled with just holding my business together before I met you. Now that you have come in and fixed everything in a fraction of the time it would take me. I finally have a smooth-running, profitable business.
- Amanda
There are some things I just don't like to do. Before I met you, I liked having my business, I made good money but I didn't realize I was leaving money on the table because of my sloppy operations. You got my SOPs in order and man I am making money more than ever haha.
