First hand experience always second to none.

In any industry, steady growth can be attributed to successful communication with customers and keeping abreast to the latest trends and technological advances. Customer service is of great importance in any service oriented business. Over the years, contractors have had to learn to tailor their services with the changing markets. A decade ago contractors leaned to adapt to dealing with an entire board of directors (the ultimate consumer), as well as one on one with a managing agent or landlord.

As technological changes progressed, faces have come to change in industries. Thirty years ago, seeing a female on a construction job-sight was unheard of. Today it is not as uncommon. More and more women are entering into the work force. Real Estate is an industry that should consider women as a strong effective force.

Automatic Industries, rounded by Bob Savino, started out. as a small operation and has taken thirty years of business experience and crafted a thriving route business with a respectable reputation. When Bob Savino's only son announced his intentions to become a doctor, it hardly occurred to him tha this daughter may be the next ideal candidate to groom for the family business. Starting out in college as part time office help my duties remained clerical until I obtained a bachelors degree in marketing and management from New York Institute of Technology.

The coin operated laundry business has become increasingly competitive, experience as well as innovative thinking have become essential tools of the trade. When I started the business my father made it clear that I would not be starting in a top position. I was required to work my way through the ranks. By experiencing such diversified duties, I was able to encompass all avenues of the business. Happy not to obtain any special treatment, this is how I was able to derive an understanding of how the organization operates. I am proud to say I reached the top by earning the position, not inheriting the position.

First hand experience is second to none. As a female, I empathize with my customers and relate with them on the importance of a safe effective laundry facility. As a professional, I realize the importance of getting things done right the first time and in a timely fashion. I feel my best asset is that I really enjoy what I do everyday.

From the first time my father demonstrated how to open a coin box I knew this business was for me. My overall goal has been to make Automatic Industries a larger more prosperous organization. Although I still strongly believe what my father has taught me, it is quality of service that counts, not the quantity of machines a company has.
