full time Retail Link Analyst / Planning Manager

at Joe LaBelle (Anywhere)

I have been working with Wal-Mart of over 7 years and have travelled to Bentonville on numerous occasions. I am an active member of RLUG of Boston. It would be my pleasure to show you the reports I have created from Retail Link which I then put into EXCEL and using various Vlookups and Pivot Tables, allowed myself and our teams to further analyze our business more efficiently.

In my previous position as Sales Analyst and Planning Manager, I supervised 15 associates but my primary area of responsibility was working with Wal-Mart. While in that capacity, I was responsible for developing sales goals and proper inventory flow for such retailers as Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, Kohl’s, and Meijer. With total revenue of $15M, I then worked with the Vice President of Sales to create additional opportunities in which we can drive additional business. I also provided detailed analysis of sales and category performance while making recommendations to increase sales.

I have worked with Directors of Sales that were formally buyers for Wal-Mart. This enhanced my ability to work effectively with Wal-Mart and make revisions which resulted in increased sales. I am focused on executing a business plan that meets a company's sales goals.

I have worked with Retail Link for over seven years. I am familiar with Store of the Community, which basically understands the consumer’s purchasing patterns, and have used this to drive additional sales for the organizations I was with. There are numerous ways in which to increase Wal-Marts sales performance. Some of these are by utilizing the Detailed Replenishment Analysis Report, Assembly Instock Research Too, and DSS - DD Comparison (adjusting a stores DD's). I have also utilized CPFR to ensure our forecasts were correct and recommended changes when necessary. Having worked with Wal-Mart enabled me to successfully drive sales for other retailers as well.

I am also familiar with Partners OnLine, Vendor Extranet, and WorkBench. The position that is currently available within your organization appears to coincide with the experience and skills I possess. I have worked for major retail companies and my positions have included retail financial planning, inventory control, analysis, distribution, merchandising, planning, and improving inventory turn by having the proper receipt flow and week’s supply.

I have very strong PC and analytical skills. I have developed effective ways of measuring sales performance to ensure I was on plan. I am superior in Excel, Word, Power-Point, and Retail Link. I have gathered information from Retail Link and combined this information with Excel. I then created a pivot tables which provided valuable information in which to analyze our current business. I then furnished this information to Wal-Mart which resulted in increased orders. These are just a few of the computer programs I have mastered. Having been in retail, I am very detailed orientated.

Thank you so much for allowing me this opportunity to be associated with your organization.

Respectfully,
Joseph LaBelle
