Sapling Spotlight: Natalie Andree, National Account Manager
Once a customer has decided to invest in a Sapling Synchronized Clock System, they often encounter some questions throughout the purchase and installation process. When a question arises, there are several means of contacting Sapling to get the answer you need. One option may be to log onto the live chat function on the Sapling website, or to pick up the phone and dial up a member of our sales team. Regardless of which method you choose, you will likely end up receiving top quality assistance from our National Account Manager, Natalie Andree. Whether she is providing part numbers, recommending a dealer, or referring a member of our tech department, Natalie can be heard throughout the day providing quick and cheerful help to every single caller. However, you’d be surprised to learn that sales service is only a very small part of Natalie’s job. As the National Account Manager, Natalie is very involved in handling some of Sapling’s largest sales. The entire Sapling team has worked hard to develop a product that we are proud of, and Natalie works throughout the day to ensure that our products are made available to our clients and recognized for their high level of quality.

Working in Sales seems natural for Natalie, as she has such a hardworking yet sociable personality. As Marketing Coordinator Sam Smith says, “Natalie is the best of both worlds. While being professional, polite, and thorough with her work, she won’t miss an opportunity to let loose and have a little fun as well.” Whether interacting with clients or coworkers, Natalie is always working to better the Sapling experience for everyone involved.
