Celebrating the women of Tasco

In honour of International Women's Day, we celebrate the fabulous women working at Tasco. Meet a few of our talented Sales Professionals that are passionate, dedicated and absolutely incredible at what they do - at work AND at home. We are so lucky to know them and to work alongside them. 

 

Melody Chan – Sales Professional Mississauga

Melody is a highly specialized professional with 20 years experience selling appliances in our Mississauga location. With her extensive knowledge and patience Melody has built many strong relationships with customers, designers and builders over the years so that most of her business today is repeat or referral based. She enjoys talking with new clients and providing them with professional advice, and chatting with her old clients and connections. As she said, "it feels like they come back to see an old friend, not just for another purchase. They are so sweet!” With Melody’s experience, she is knowledgeable in all brands but favours SubZero, Wolf and Miele for their high end quality and service. Outside of the store, Melody is a loving mom and dog mom. She enjoys cooking, grooming her dogs and taking advantage of cheap movie tickets on Tuesdays.

 

Jennifer Winker – Sales Professional Burlington

To know Jen is to know she is a loving dog mom ….everyone knows her beloved Ted. Jennifer is always friendly and chatty, and she loves to meet new people. She is honest and really takes her time with her customers to make sure they know what they want before they buy. Jennifer has 11 years experience selling appliances in the industry, and has been with us since 2015. Her constant goal is to make a customer happy, and nothing is more satisfying that turning a frown upside down. Her care earns her a lot of customer trust and loyalty. In Jennifer’s dream kitchen you would find Miele’s Steam Combi Oven because as she says “I love the menu cooking feature, having the ability to cook three items and have them finish at the same time is just genius.” Jennifer spends her free time with Ted and is leaning Spanish and to play the violin.

 

Tatiana Pregent – Sales Professional Pickering

Tatiana is what we call a lifer. She has worked at Tasco for over 15 years, and has been in the industry for more than 30 years altogether! Tatiana’s work philosophy is to treat her clients the way she wants to be treated, which for her means that she cares about her customer’s purchase from start to finish and is always willing to go the extra mile. She believes in the products she suggests to her clients, being truthful to them and herself so that a favourite part of her day is when she receives a thank you call or email from a happy customer, or they send her referrals. Tatiana’s preferred brands? She loves Miele and JennAir appliances for their clean and modern design. Tatiana is a proud mom, and grandma to a precious 2 year old. When not at work, Tatiana likes to stay active at the gym spinning, hot boxing, or doing hot yoga. She enjoys hiking and gardening plus cooking, and baking like most grandmas. She loves to travel and experience different cultures, particularly around Europe learning about the people, history and food.

 

Karen CareyHill – Sales Professional Toronto

Karen is passionate about food and cooking - with 4 kids and 3 cats, she cooks all the time! So, naturally appliances in the cooking category are her favourite to talk about and sell. Her best-loved choices are Wolf everything, Miele ovens, and SubZero fridges - because we need to keep all that food fresh! Karen has worked at Tasco since 2020, and worked for Miele before. Karen really enjoys her job, she loves her colleagues and is dubbed the “unofficial therapist” as she always tries to make other feel good and happy in their day. Karen’s favourite part of her job is helping people plan their dream kitchen. Customers have said she makes shopping fun, without pressure. In her down time – when she’s not cooking, she enjoys being with her kids and partner spending time together outdoors, and travelling.

 

Suppreet Kaur – Online Chat Sales/Support

Suppreet came to Canada as an international student in 2014. She was the first of her family to come to Canada and since then has built a career, home and family, getting married and having her first baby just a year ago. She is a doting mother and enjoys cooking for her family. Suppreet has worked for Tasco for more than 3 years, and joined our Online Chat Team at the start of the pandemic assisting customers in their purchase, and various needs for information or service. Suppreet’s favourite brand is Whirlpool, for their accessibility to all, fewer service calls and overall customer satisfaction. She loves connecting with her colleagues, working from home to be there for her baby and still meet new people online every day. Suppreet is very happy to provide the best customer service possible to her clients, which for her means being patient and providing all the information one may need, understanding the customer and earning their trust. When she isn’t logged into chat on our website, Suppreet enjoys her family time watching tv and making weekend plans. When she first came here, she struggled with the cold and not being with her family but she stayed to make them proud and for her desire to inspire other women like her to never give up, to aspire and go after your dreams.
