"I'm aggressive, I'm feisty, I'm loyal and I never take no for an answer." --Heidi Bressler
Heidi has a Master's in Criminology from American University and worked alongside FBI agents at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Raised in Wayne, NJ (but currently residing in Philadelphia) Heidi holds a Senior Account Executive position at Qwest Communications. She is one of the top sales reps in her region.
What is your definition of "success"?
I would define success as being happy and satisfied professionally and personally.
Who do you admire most (personally and/or professionally)?
Professionally I admire HOWARD STERN: Howard is the King of All Media...enough said.
Personally, I admire my grandmother. She came to America with nothing and has managed to live her life to the fullest. She worked very hard to provide for her family and make sure they were taken care of. She is also the only 92-year-old woman who still likes to play golf, tennis and work out.
What cartoon character do you most relate to and why?
The cartoon character I can relate with the most is Angelica Pickles from the Rugrats. Angelica appears to be sweet and innocent, however, when she wants something she can be really bossy and mean. She does not take crap from anyone and if she cannot get something on her own she will find a way for someone to get it for her. She is determined and feisty.
If Heidi isn't knocked out in the early rounds, look to her surviving to the end. She knows how to play the game. Will cut the competition down. Has the strength and determination to get through the crap. Definitely among the top three or four.
Heidi along with several of the other girls have no qualms using sex appeal in their business efforts. It's empowering. Smart girl. Will be a contender. She seems to be energetic and takes the profile and opportunity.
Ken NJ said this in post #7 : Heidi knows she doesn't stack up as much wth the other beauties. The question of brains beg to differ. Will one overcome the other?
Would you want a brown bag with that?
Hahaha Ken!
Nah, I wouldn't touch that with... well, you know. She seriously seems really cracky to me. There are a few other way better looking chicks on this show.
And I really don't see her being all that smart, either. She seems to just bite off what the other girls do, she doesn't have her own initiative. Like jumping in mid-way through a chorus then signing the loudest, if that makes sense.
Heck, I thought you would get a good chuckle from that!
And I agree.... I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole. Hahahaha
However, I wouldn't mind working with Heidi. She has good working skills, clever and smart on her feet. I've worked for and with at least a dozen females and have to say 95% are like Heidi.
We could try putting a RAMS shirt over her head for you HECK ... but still .... LMAO
And if she doesn't win, Ken you can hire her to work smarter and harder for you ... she's right next door in Philthy Philly, no ?
In the sense of the show ... wouldn't you agree that someone [who looks] like Heidi has a better chance of winning than someone [who looks] like say Kristi ? Kristi, pretty as she is comes with the porn show baggage, men will be distracted by her looks/bod and other women will be intimidated by her beauty and feign offense at her background. She has already faced of with Omoronosa and whined that she's really a "good person".
I agree that unattractive people ( not just women ) do try to compensate in other ways and like Sam ... they overdo it. But Heidi's background must be pristine if she worked at NCMEC and she is a TOP sales rep in her region. (If her region is New Jersey it doesn't count. Just kidding, Ken.)
With Heidi ... men won't be too distracted, though some may "cringe" , women won't be intimidated by her and will trust her more as evidenced by Amy taking her to the client meeting.
Still don't know about her ... there must be SOMETHING that made them notice her among the many who applied.

Heidi probably has no problems getting multiple job offers with her business savvy and energy shown on the Trump competition. She seemed to be the most active along with the other team members on the negotiation and acquisition of the One ounze 24K gold bar (value $400) and was able to persuade store owner Michael to take a lost of $10 to just say "yes to get them to leave." Heidi said coyly, "I like you, Michael....I'll dance for you."
Yes, used to be much more filthy city of brotherly love. Ya got to love their cheese steaks, soft hot pretzels, water ice and all the richness and culture the big city brings. Another city love to visit, like NYC and Chicago among the biggest.

As I said above with Heidi's conniving ways, she gets what she wants and will go to the end in pursuing it. Highly motivated, gets the results. At least we don't know whether she'll go as far as taking it all off to achieve her goal as Kristi. I would love to hear from some of her EX-boyfriends.

Can't help you there as to her pre-employment check. Perhaps not much required in most sales rep positions. Doesn't look like Heidi need to be bonded. General rule: When ugly ducklings can outsell darling beauties, must be excellent marketing skills and good head on shoulder.
<<< Still don't know about her ... there must be SOMETHING that made them notice her among the many who applied. >>>
She bubbles out from the rest of the pack. Ever attend a meeting and the Heidi types knows when to step up to the plate. Can't hold it against her. Comes out on the TV shows.

Heidi said coyly, "I like you, Michael....I'll dance for you."
What she said was "I like YOU, Michael, and I want to buy this gold from YOU, Michael" She put the emphasis on HIM and made him important ... taller. That was a gutsy shot that could have gotten a different response. He could have responded, "Well I don't like YOU all in here disrupting my business, and I won't sell it to YOU for a nickel less." Heidi apparently read him correctly and seized the advantage.
By the way, the dance was a couple of them and was to help him decide to "ask them to leave". I thought it was pretty funny and apparently so did he.

You didn't answer directly ... so do you agree that someone who looks like Heidi and has business savvy has a better chance than a beauty like Kristi who has savvy ?

She worked with the FBI in a venue where children were the focus. She had to have had a complete background check to work there. That's why I said she probably has a spotless background.

Some would argue that, and say she climbs the ladder other "ways" ... but I agree with you.

Again agree. Heidi has developed compensatory skills and has learned to use them well.

Heidi is amazing in her sales abilities from week to week. She personalizes each transaction. Yesterday, she did it again by taking on trays of liquer shots and bringing in the wampum. She knows how to sell, has the personality and the motivation. Some sell a shot here and there; she goes for it all, emptying out the guys wallet.
<<< By the way, the dance was a couple of them and was to help him decide to "ask them to leave". I thought it was pretty funny and apparently so did he. >>>
Yes, Heidi danced her way around holding them trays from customer to customer from table to table. She knew how to wiggle that hip. Not much elsewhere though.
<<< You didn't answer directly ... so do you agree that someone who looks like Heidi and has business savvy has a better chance than a beauty like Kristi who has savvy ? >>>
Help me out here, are you distinguishing business savvy vs. general savvy? Of course, Heidi with a more focused business savvy can fine tune it to a critical outcome each and every time. More efficiency in play here. Hard to measure those factors offsetting outward appearance. Depends on the industry and the client largely in my humble opinion. For instance, a pretty face can sell more cosmetics, and an ugly duckling can sell equally or more on the phone and internet, assuming other things being equal. Something tells me that Heidi can even sell ice to the Eskimos.
<<<She worked with the FBI in a venue where children were the focus. She had to have had a complete background check to work there. That's why I said she probably has a spotless background. >>>
Nah, Heidi was an auxiliary or an outside client to their enforcement programs, not a direct government employee which would require a background clearance. They have no reason to believe Heidi would pose a substantial risks to their investigations. From what we know, I can't say the same yet about the spotless background - an inference unconfirmed.
ken, you are the only one so far who knows what a good candidate heidi is...obviously she is smart, excellent in sales and that picture does not do her justice..she is a cutie with hot bod...

What? Cutie?
And I just don't see her business savvy. She has yet to do anything impressive.
