What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Sales and Business Development Professional with over 8 years of experience in client acquisition, revenue growth, and high-value sales. My career has been marked by a proven ability to build strong relationships, negotiate deals, and scale revenue streams in fast-paced industries. I thrive in quota-driven environments and have consistently achieved and exceeded sales targets.
In my current role as a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner at Dental Career Services, I have successfully generated $15K to $20K in monthly revenue by placing high-value candidates across the United States. My strategic partnership development has secured new clients and added significant recurring revenue. I am adept at pipeline management, lead generation, and closing deals, which has allowed me to maintain a robust hiring pipeline and expand my talent network significantly.
Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have honed my skills in consultative selling, negotiation, and CRM management. My experience ranges from leading hiring strategies at Stryker to managing key client relationships at CompuStaff. I am passionate about driving results and am always looking for opportunities to leverage my expertise in a SaaS Account Executive role.
