Maura Schreier-Fleming - Owner Best@Selling
Meet Maura Schreier-Fleming:
Maura Schreier-Fleming discovered her fascination with auto mechanics while studying textile engineering in graduate school at Georgia Tech. She needed a car in Atlanta and purchased her first car (a fabulous, used Toyota Corolla). That’s when she realized that she couldn’t be a helpless female with a vehicle. Her solution? She enrolled in Dekalb Tech at night and took courses in engine tune-up and hydraulic brakes. She loved it! She chose to enter the oil business because working with mechanical components would be part of her job.
Her first job at Mobil Oil was sales engineer. She sold industrial lubricants, passenger car motor oils and heavy duty motor oils to a variety of industries. Next she became Mobil Oil’s first female lubrication engineer in the United States. Working in the oil industry allowed Maura to combine her love of mechanical equipment and sales.
She left the oil industry, after working in it over 20 years, so she could work for herself. She established Best@Selling in 1997. Best@Selling is a sales training and consulting company. She now writes several columns on selling and works with technical and business professionals on their skills and strategies to sell more and close business faster.
Her background in technical sales helps her to understand the products of the clients she works with. She wants to work with other women so they can get the confidence to work in technical areas like the automotive industry. The automotive industry offers many opportunities for women to be successful. Maura is based in Dallas, Texas and is an active member of IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.)
