What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own a high-volume pipeline, drive consultative sales, and help clients through structured financing or leasing steps—supported by clear metrics and opportunities to grow within a results-driven team.

I’m a sales and commercial finance professional who supports business owners through the funding process—building momentum in high-volume pipelines while maintaining long-term client relationships. I’m recognized for strong communication, relationship management, and performing in fast-paced, results-driven environments.

In commercial finance, I managed a pipeline of approximately 250 MQL leads and conducted 100+ inbound and outbound calls daily to qualify opportunities, assess funding needs, and move prospects through underwriting and funding stages. I supported more than $800,000 in funded business financing by guiding clients through qualification, documentation, underwriting, and funding.

I also bring a proven leasing sales track record. As a Leasing Agent, I managed the full sales pipeline from initial inquiry to signed lease agreements, used retention-focused outreach to reduce fallout, and closed agreements in competitive, high-volume settings. I increased pre-lease occupancy from 26% to over 77% within five months through disciplined prospecting, persistent follow-up, and objection handling.

I’m comfortable handling the full commercial journey—from consultative discovery and lead qualification to documentation review—while partnering with internal teams to resolve deficiencies and accelerate approvals. I leverage Salesforce CRM and consultative selling to consistently convert opportunities and exceed performance objectives.
