Alexis Stoops has become the first female regional sales manager in Trident Transport history.
“To be the first female regional sales manager here at Trident means more to me than I can really express. When I started at Trident {July 2018}, I was still in school full time pursuing my business management degree. Up until I was hired, I had no idea what I was going to do after school, and I did not think that anyone would give me a chance at a managerial role since I would be a new graduate.
However, Trident rewards effort and provided me with an opportunity to prove my worth,” said Ms. Stoops.
“Since working here, I have never felt that I was treated differently or thought less of because I was a female. My bosses were always encouraging and wanted to see me to make it as the first female regional sales manager. Shortly after graduation, I was told that my efforts had paid off and that I had earned this title. I believe that it was my competitive spirit and ‘never quit’ attitude that helped me get to where I am, along with help and guidance from the amazing Trident team.
“I would encourage any female that has interest in a sales role to try logistics. Although it seems to be a male dominated industry, it is a rewarding and competitive industry to be in. And with the right attitude, it can offer unlimited success. I had little knowledge of this industry when I started and have enjoyed every moment of learning how it works. I believe that logistics is a level playing field that offers endless opportunities for females who are willing to work hard and want to succeed.”
