"Best Buy has taught me what I know about business today. It was an incredible company to work for and I had the opportunity to manage a store that consistently finished top 40 in the company ANNUALLY out of 1,150 locations. Every year I was sent on an overseas excursion on behalf of the company to celebrate. Myself, and my team, based our success on the vision of customer excellence... what is it going to take for that last customer to go home and talk about you to their friends and family."
