00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.220
>> My name is Julie Rosenberger
and I work for Shaw Contract Group,

00:00:04.220 --> 00:00:07.360
and I'm a Commercial Carpet Specialist.

00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.130
Shaw Contract Group is a
part of Shaw Industries,

00:00:10.130 --> 00:00:12.610
and we're a subsidiary of Brookshire Hathaway.

00:00:12.610 --> 00:00:18.780
We are the world's largest carpet manufacturer,
and we also do hard surface as well

00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:22.020
for both residential and commercial flooring.

00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:28.190
So, my role, or my job, is to sell commercial
carpeting to the commercial industry.

00:00:28.190 --> 00:00:31.770
So I primarily call on architect and designers.

00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:36.680
I call on installers, carpet
installers and facility managers

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:40.380
of buildings or property managers.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:44.670
I'm educating them a lot on our
green initiatives and sustainability

00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:49.930
which is becoming more and more important in
building new buildings and existing buildings.

00:00:49.930 --> 00:00:53.070
So usually educating my clients
on the latest and greatest

00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:55.580
and what the commercial industry has to offer.

00:00:55.580 --> 00:00:58.520
My day usually starts around 7:30.

00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.270
I like to get in the office,
or downstairs in my home,

00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:07.460
a little bit before our corporate
headquarters opens which is at 8 o'clock.

00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:10.960
I usually work from 8 to 6, depending on my day.

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.110
I'd say out of five days a week, I'm in
the office a total of a day and a half.

00:01:18.110 --> 00:01:22.350
But for the most part I am on the road
making sales calls to my different clients.

00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:29.760
And it kind of fluctuates week to week how
many calls I'll have outside the office,

00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.630
and sometimes you have to work
on big contracts and proposals,

00:01:33.630 --> 00:01:36.470
which tend to be more computer time.

00:01:36.470 --> 00:01:38.570
So I spend more time in the office.

00:01:38.570 --> 00:01:39.930
So, it's very flexible.

00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:43.650
You kind of mix and match
your schedule as you see fit.
