EPISODE 248: THRIVING AGAINST THE ODDS: SARAH HERRING'S PATH TO CSR EXCELLENCE

Written By Pool Chasers

Sarah Herring currently works for Innovative Pool Trades managing the shotcrete division.

After serving 2 1/2 years in prison she worked as a CSR for one of the largest pool builders in the valley, Mossman Brothers Pools. While working for Mossman she developed many skills and undertook tasks that would make her the go-to person for customers and sub-contractors. After years of continued commitment she decided to move on.

During her time at Mossman, Sarah created a reputation for doing whatever needed to be done to ensure pools got built! Even if that meant using personal lines of credit to buy equipment. The respect she has for the trades is mutual and almost personal.
