What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven sales and outreach professional with a passion for connecting brands and organizations to their target audiences. With extensive experience in using sales tools such as Apollo, HubSpot, and LinkedIn, I specialize in crafting personalized outreach campaigns that convert prospects into loyal clients. My dedication to helping companies grow their client base through strategic lead generation and relationship building has been proven across various industries, including real estate, tech, and nonprofit sectors.
Currently, I lead outreach campaigns at Capital City Development, where I have successfully increased lead conversions by 30% through personalized LinkedIn and email campaigns. My key achievements include generating over 60 leads in my first month of outreach and closing 5 major deals for luxury properties. I am committed to continuous improvement, having developed a sales playbook for nonprofit outreach that significantly enhanced conversion rates. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to drive sales success for organizations looking to expand their reach.
