What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Client Success/Sales role where I can lead teams, drive KPIs, improve retention, and expand revenue through onboarding demos, escalations, and data-informed account management.

I’m an enthusiastic Client Success Manager / Sales Manager / Account Manager with 8 years of experience helping companies increase revenue and develop profitable client relationships.

As part of the executive team, I set yearly, quarterly, and monthly goals and reported on KPI numbers to identify opportunities that improved performance. I’ve acted as a main point of contact for onboarding and escalated calls, using product demonstrations, calls, and emails to keep clients engaged.

My results include maintaining client relationships with a retention rate of 85%+ and improving renewal performance from 75% to 95%+. I also created an NPS (Net Promoter Score) and client referral program to strengthen loyalty and drive new business.

I’m a hands-on leader who mentors and trains teams in product knowledge and execution, from client service reps to sales teams. I’ve also supported growth through cold calling, trade show promotion, and collaborating with marketing to increase traffic and reach company deadlines.
