Description:
Event Engineer and Owner - planning...forever events. Fleeing the earthquakes and mudslides of Southern California, Saundra and her family moved to the Midwest in the mid-nineties. While her prior corporate experience included being an event planner for exclusive parties for physicians, she left her comfort zone and started a sales career selling advertising with a major media corporation.She took advantage of the fact that her company invested thousands of dollars in professional sales training, including well-known courses produced by Dale Carnegie and Zig Zigler, to hone her skills. Saundra was responsible for meeting challenging sales quotas and leading her peers and staff in researching high objectives, which has led her in winning awards in personal sales achievements. Her experience in telemarketing,cold calling, client relationship building and delivering formal sales presentations have been the most important skill sets that she has used when launching her own business. Missing the excitement of event planning and with the deep desire to leave the cubicle world behind, Saundra opened planning...forever events in 2003, primarily focusing no weddings. Today her event planning studio has added services including planning for large corporate summits, social events and design/decor.Saundra is straight-forward, inspiring, original and is well-known for her infectious laugh and collection of Chuck Taylor shoes. Although addicted to social media, she carves out quality time to spend with her husband, 13-year old son and loveable chocolate lab.
