Installations Coordinator. With a wealth of experience and a heart for helping others, Sue
has become an indispensable part of the Ozzi Kleen family over the past seven years.
In this staff profile, we take a deeper look at Sue’s journey, her role, and the incredible
connection she has with her colleagues and clients alike. Get ready to meet a woman whose
work superpower is her ability to uplift those around her, all while excelling in the fast-paced
world of sales and installation coordination.
From Area Manager to Sales Coordinator: A Journey in the Making
Sue’s career in sales didn’t begin with Ozzi Kleen, but rather, in a previous role as an area
manager where she honed her skills for 12 years. “I’ve been in sales for 30 years,” she
mentions with a smile, the kind of smile that reflects both pride and perseverance. When Sue
stepped into her role at Ozzi Kleen seven years ago, it felt like the perfect next chapter.
Her role at Ozzi Kleen, where she’s now the Domestic Sales and Installations Coordinator,
brings her in direct contact with customers, site visits, and the rest of the sales team. From
overseeing the quoting process to ensuring smooth sales transactions and installations, Sue
is a linchpin of the team. But for her, it’s not just about selling a product—it’s about building
relationships, something she’s exceptionally good at.
A Day in the Life: No Two Days Are the Same
So, what does a typical day in Sue’s shoes look like? In her words, "Pretty much quoting,
following up on leads, and training new sales staff. A typical day could involve a site visit to a
homeowner for a septic upgrade or a Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP) installation,
then coming back to the office to quote and follow through with the sales process."
For Sue, the fast-paced nature of her work isn’t a challenge—it’s something she thrives on.
Between juggling customer interactions, training new team members, and handling the finer
details of sales and installations, she’s the go-to person for getting things done. Yet, despite
her workload, Sue remains approachable and easygoing, willing to lend a hand to anyone
who needs help.
"Some days, I’ll be out on a site visit assessing what a homeowner needs, and other days
I’m in the office making sure all the pieces fall into place." It’s clear that no two days are ever
the same for Sue, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
The Unsung Work Superpower: Helping Across All Departments
When asked about her “work superpower,” Sue hesitates at first—she’s not one to boast.
But after a moment, she thoughtfully replies, “I guess I would say it’s helping any of the staff
across all of the departments.”
Sue’s ability to assist and guide her colleagues, no matter which department they’re in, is a
testament to her experience and her willingness to share knowledge. “I’m always
approachable, and I generally have an answer. I never turn someone away when they need
Help.”
It’s this kind of attitude that makes Sue a true asset to the Ozzi Kleen team. Her superpower
isn’t some flashy skill—it’s her ability to be the person everyone turns to for answers,
guidance, and support. In many ways, Sue has become the glue that holds the various
departments together, ensuring everyone is on the same page and working toward common
Goals.
