What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

As a former professional baseball player, I have transitioned into a successful career as an Account Manager, bringing over 8 years of experience in client management and sales. My journey has equipped me with a unique perspective on teamwork, leadership, and strategic thinking, which I leverage to drive business growth and exceed sales targets. I excel in identifying client pain points and delivering tailored solutions that foster long-term relationships and enhance customer satisfaction.

At ZipRecruiter, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to manage a portfolio of over 200 accounts, achieving significant recognition for my performance. I have earned multiple promotions and have a proven track record of exceeding sales goals, including a personal best month of $28,580 in sales. My experience in various sales roles has honed my skills in communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving, enabling me to thrive in fast-paced environments and deliver exceptional service to clients.
