Trish Ahrendt

[ North Central to South AL / FL Panhandle ] trish@justgot2haveit.com About me: With over nineteen years of outside sales experience in the Gift Industry, I began my journey as an outside sales rep in 2001 with a well-known gift company just prior to the September 11th attacks. Times were scary, but with perseverance and a desire to succeed, I worked with my customers to overcome and move forward, reminding them that there would still be Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and even just regular days when we or someone we know would need a little “happy” to get through the day. In early 2010, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to join the Just Got 2 Have It! team and I take great pride in my association with this agency. Working with this team, my vendors and retailers and our shared business success keeps me inspired in this industry and makes it all worthwhile

Motivated By: The desire to give my kids the opportunities I did not have, as well as to inspire them to be good, hard-working and productive citizens. Grounded in God, family, love, and in the belief that each of us truly desires to do good.

Secret Passion: I love reading. I also took up running in 2014 and have thus far completed three Full Marathons. Why? Same reasons I love to read. It opens the mind and helps ease the stress of a hard day's work!

One thing you should know: I love spending time with my family, especially watching collegiate football. I am a big University of Alabama football fan. Roll Tide!

About me: With almost two decades in sales, I can honestly say I’ve done it all! My experience ranges from retail sales, e-commerce, direct sales, and my absolute favorite of all, B2B. Growing positive relationships and collaborating with my customers to produce results is my ultimate goal! I’ve always been a “helper” and I can’t help but to help. With that being said, customer service is definitely in my blood. I’m the type of gal that is always encouraging and rooting for others and I genuinely enjoy watching them succeed. I love home decor and have a true passion for creating warm and inviting home spaces. Combine all of the above and I’m your Home Sales Ninja and your biggest cheerleader!

Motivated By: Positive results, money and making things pretty.

Secret Passion: I’m slightly obsessed with DIY projects and I am constantly redecorating my home! Between Pinterest, YouTube and knowing enough to be dangerous about power tools, I’m convinced I can do all things home improvement.

One thing you should know: I love animals, especially dogs! I’ll admit that I’m that crazy lady walking down the street that randomly ask strangers to pet their dogs.

About me: I’m a glass is half-full individual, though it has been soooo challenging in 2020 to maintain that outlook. I’m the youngest of 5 children and my siblings are scattered across the country like leaves on the wind!

I love to work out, run, and slow down with a glass/es of rose and quiet (if I can get it. It’s rare) I met the love of my life at almost 43 years old, that being my 7 year old son Jameson. I love a vulgar joke, anywhere that my toes are in the sand with a bikini and sunglasses on, and good clean food enjoyed in the presence of my foodie-loving fiancé. If I didn’t have my friends, Lord knows where I’d be. I’m blessed.

Motivated by: Momentum, achievement, security.

Secret passion: Most of the Real Housewives franchises, scrubbing things clean with a toothbrush, and vacuuming with the music on loud and dancing the whole time…

One thing you should know: I’m sweet but I’m not gullible. I’ve been around too long already not to know better!

About me: I have been in the Home Decor, Accessory and Gift Industry for over 20 years. From being a store owner, sales manager and a territory manager, I have diverse knowledge & experience on both sides. My passion is relationships with my customers and becoming a business partner rather than a "sales rep". I have been a road warrior for 11 years in the Tennessee and Mississippi territory with substantial growth yearly. I believe we have two things to offer our clients: knowledge and time. It is my job to be an expert and be the best sales rep in my territory!

Motivated By: Numbers, money & making a difference!

Secret Passion: I love gossip magazines and reality TV! One thing you should know: I am obsessed with ice! It's the little things in life that make me happy!

Our weekends are full of Football or Soccer games, friends, and family. And being outside anywhere on the water! I love Florida living!

Motivated By: I'm motivated knowing that I've helped or encouraged others.

Secret Passion: I love throwing parties! Bringing family and friends together with good food, drinks, and atmosphere. I just don't like to clean it up after. ;)

One thing you should know: I exercise every day, usually first thing in the morning. It gets me going and is a huge stress reliever for me...did I mention I have 3 teenagers? :-)
