We sat down with Allison Mutton Senior Business Developer and Theme Parks Global Market Leader.
Summary of our chat with Allison, who joined Solotech in June of 2021.
Q: What does a day in your life at Solotech look like?
AM: It can be quite a mix…I spend time visiting potential and established customers, preparing quotations, following up on existing orders, planning product demonstrations for company/client events, researching different geographical and client markets to pursue new business, work with our integration team on installation projects.
Q: What roads did you take to get to Solotech?
AM: I started in the business on the manufacturing side in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I held a few different marketing and sales positions while I was there, one being for me to get the theme parks to incorporate specific products into their parks. Spending so much time in warmer climates prompted my move to Florida. Since being in Orlando, I have held sales and management positions with a few companies before starting with Solotech.
Q: When you were growing up, what did you want to be?
AM: I wanted to be a TV broadcaster!
Q: What is the best part about your job?
AM: I love getting to know my customers and vendors! Many of them have become good friends outside of the work environment.
Q: What has been your favorite project to work on since starting with Solotech?
AM: It is hard to pinpoint just one, but since I love theme parks, it is always fun to know that we had something to do with several major rides and venues at various parks around the US.
Q: What sets Solotech apart from our competitors?
AM: Our sales and project & installation staff are top-notch. Even though Solotech is a global company, we treat every customer, large or small, like they are our only customer. Because we are able to offer sales, design, installation, integration, and service of lighting, audio, and video, it allows us to provide for all aspects of a project.
Q: What excites you most about the evolving tech in your division?
AM: There is always something new to learn…new product development and offerings seem to change on a daily basis.
Q: Do you have any unusual/crazy work-related stories?
AM: When I was in grade school, my family took a vacation to one of the Orlando theme parks. I told my parents that when I grew up, I was going to work there! I never ended up specifically working at a theme park, but little did they know that my career would allow me to work with several theme parks on various projects!
Q: Since we are a global company, where is your favorite place to travel?
AM: My favorite place is the Caribbean!
Q: What is your favorite food?
AM: Thin-crust pizza!
