What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven freelance sales and marketing professional with 35+ years of experience across B2B and B2C environments, delivering end-to-end remote sales, telemarketing, and consultative outreach. I excel in high-volume outbound calling, lead qualification, and appointment setting for C-suite executives, legal and medical professionals, and business owners.
Throughout my career I have supported executive-level outreach, recruiting qualification, wholesale sales, market research, and client relationship management, consistently recognized for professionalism, persistence, and high conversion quality. I have held roles from gallery director and executive assistant to retail management and advertising sales, refining persuasive communication and service-driven delivery.
