What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a high-performing sales team where I can grow as a BDR/SDR/Account Executive—using consultative selling, negotiation, and relationship building to consistently convert leads and drive measurable results.

I’m a business development and sales professional who thrives in fast-paced, target-driven environments. I’m known for relationship-building, persuasive communication, and consistently converting leads into long-term clients.

In my current role as a Life Insurance Sales Advisor at Neilson Financial Services, I conduct thorough needs analyses and use consultative selling to match clients with ideal policies. I’ve also built a structured objection-handling framework to strengthen closing rates and client confidence.

Previously at Potentia Foods, I worked as a Business Development Representative generating and qualifying B2B leads across corporate, athletic, and student sectors. I designed sales personas, call scripts, and outreach playbooks, and partnered with leadership to refine messaging and improve conversion consistency.

Before that, I negotiated vendor partnerships and reduced acquisition costs by 40% at TRE’DISH, while collaborating cross-functionally to streamline logistics and support sales expansion. Overall, I bring negotiation, cost optimization, and operational focus—always aiming to create scalable growth through tailored solutions.
