TalkingWith Tami: When you first started your company Im sure you had challenges along the way, tell us some of your experience and how you overcame them.        Oh yes!  It’s always exciting when you find something you love doing. It can also be scary and taking that leap was not easy.   As great of an idea VVS was, I knew nothing about running a valet service.  I had to find out how to be competitively priced and how to obtain business. I knew there was a market, I just didn’t know where to start or who to contact.  I had to go out and network; put the bug in the ears of the right people.  I had to take that leap, and everyday is a new step towards the future.

 

TalkingWithTami: Before you started your company what was your profession? How did you utilize your job experience in making VixenValet Service what it is today?

An Orthopedic/Urology Sales Specialist with a concentration in the Oncology market.  (LOL)  Totally different from a valet parking service.  I’ve actually been in the health care arena since before I graduated from Florida A&M University.  Being in Corporate America taught me a lot; Good and not so good!  Managing a territory is just like managing your own business…you are responsible for everything from inventory to setting up grants, so it prepared me for the business aspect of all.  Although there is not much out there on all of the in’s in out’s, I conducted my own trials to test the market.  You know what they say, “Experience is the best teacher!”

 

TalkingWithTami: I saw you at Gladys Knight grand opening kudos to you! How did that come about and how do you land your contracts?

  That was such a blessing.  They actually reached out to us.  Ms. Santana, my contact for Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles, said she simply googled us.  It was music to my ears that we came up in a google search for valet.  We have been fortunate that our clients are pleased with our service.  Word of Mouth has produced our highest ROI.  Additionally, we have advertisements on the back of the Marta bus that runs from midtown to Buckhead.  We are also hitting the pavement by attending events and networking.

 

TalkingWithTami:The Vixens are too cute and sexy! Their uniforms are the cutest thing! How did you invision them to look and why?

    Thank you!  I knew I wanted them to be sheik and sassy.  There is a way to be sexy and classy at the same time and these uniforms were a perfect fit.  We do themes also, but we always keep it professional! At the end of the day, our total package offers “A Beautiful Parking Experience!”
