"Success leaves clues" Tony Robbins...It's up to you how you interpret those clues.
While I was a Math teacher, I learned a great deal about human nature and what drives people to make certain decisions. Most people act on their feelings rather than facts. When I encounter a person who's influenced by feelings I know to focus on how the product will make them do their job more efficiently rather than focusing on product features.
After starting my career in Sales, I earned my certification in preHIRED's Certified Science-Based Sales®. I have now moved towards a path in the world of SaaS. Through pre-HIRED's Certified Science-Based Sales® training program voted the #1 sales training program in the country 2 years in a row, I studied multiple sales methodologies and learned numerous sales techniques that cover the entire sales development process, including identifying ideal prospects. writing compelling and effective emails, running qualification and disco calls, identifying pain points, overcoming objections, and helping your team build a high quality and high quantity sales pipeline. I am looking for a great organization to grow within and my goal is to be a Sales Leader within the organization within the next 3 -5 years.
I'm a trained problem solver, confidently prepared to help your team take your company to the next level.
In my free time I also like traveling, old school hip-hop, volleyball, reading self-improvement books as well as improving myself professionally.
