TIM COLOSIMO

METRIE CANADA LTD.

Tim treats his employer’s business like his own, and demonstrates value-add in every sale he makes. Margin and dollars are a small percentage compared to the quality, sales and service Tim and his team bring to our business. Tim seeks opportunities with each sale. Mouldings and doors and just a part of a sale. Best practices are important to him and he eagerly shares his expertise.

On receiving this award Tim stated, “To be recognized by not only my peers, but by my customer base, is something that is truly, really special to me.

With new products or flash sales, Tim continually works to enhance business. He makes suggestions for power aisle selections, promotes in-store sales targets and follows up with employees on his own. He is adaptive and mobile and always strives to reach out to staff, and aid them in their growth. When he is on-location, he endeavours to engage with all staff in a meaningful way. He also offers marketing advice to ensure trending content.

If addressing himself as a younger man, he would say, “The biggest thing I have learned in this industry is that, when you say you’re going to do something, follow up on that. If a customer or teammate asks you to do something, the biggest thing you have in this industry is your word and your integrity.

Tim also mentioned the importance of Red River College to his development. “Red River College was one of the building blocks of my career. I knew what I wanted to do, I knew I wanted to be in sales, and I knew I needed that secondary education to get where I wanted to go. Red River College got me off on the right foot, and I’d recommend it to anyone.”
