Kristi Hagler

Kristi Hagler serves as a sales and projects executive at Southgate Direct. She joined the company in March of this year and has spent the past six months managing strategic accounts for one of the top e-commerce businesses in the U.S. Her responsibilities include seeking out new business opportunities, sending quotes, and building connections with key contacts to strengthen the company's presence. Prior to this role, Hagler worked in sales within the construction industry for portable restrooms and in the staffing industry for production, accumulating four to five years of experience in construction-related sales before seeking a change that would allow her to work from home. She is committed to providing a unique and personable experience to every customer. Looking ahead, Hagler plans to grow with the company and become one of its future executive members as it expands in the U.S. She notes that the industry presents challenges due to strong competition, requiring her work to stand out. Hagler encourages women new to the field not to feel intimidated by what they do not know or by those with more experience, emphasizing that individuals can make their own impact without years of prior knowledge. She currently has a mentor at Southgate who has guided her in both business and life.
