Jessica Fouts

I've been working in finance for 14 years at Sheffield Financial, a division of Truist Bank, where we specialize in financing for outdoor power equipment. I work in both sales and marketing, managing dealers that I'm responsible for and communicating our rates and offerings to them. On the marketing side, I create promotional rates that go out to all of our dealers, plus magazine ads, posters, and showcases. I'm on a sales team of about 20 people, with about 8 on my specific end. My territory is Florida, which is interesting because I was originally hired as inside sales since I have 3 boys that are younger and couldn't really do the travel, but somehow they manipulated me into taking a whole territory. I publish a lot of content all the time in different power sports and outdoor power equipment related magazines. I didn't go to school for this field - I actually studied Parks and Recreation Management at Western Carolina University with a minor in leadership - but I've built my career in this industry over the past 14 years.
