I help businesses selling high-value solutions have more effective sales conversations by understanding each prospect’s actual needs
Costa RicaWhat I'm looking for
As the co-founder of Yumbrel, I have been directly involved in managing the commercial operations of my own business, including identifying sales opportunities, sourcing products, contacting and negotiating with suppliers, setting pricing strategies, providing customer service, coordinating deliveries, and following up on each transaction.
This experience has given me a business owner's perspective on sales. A sale doesn't end when a customer says "yes"; behind every transaction are profit margins, costs, suppliers, logistics, customer experience, and the responsibility to deliver on promises.
As an independent civil engineer, I was involved in acquiring and managing residential construction projects, where I first had to understand each client's needs, expectations, and budget before presenting a suitable solution.
To win projects, I developed practical skills in active listening, negotiation, relationship building, and communication. I learned how to explain technical concepts in simple terms and align client expectations with the actual possibilities of each project.
Once a project was awarded, I took responsibility for its technical management and ongoing supervision. This allowed me to build long-term client relationships and understand that earning trust doesn't end with making a sale; it is demonstrated by delivering on promises.
My experience working with an international corporate account such as CBRE, has allowed me to develop skills that are directly transferable to consultative sales, including communicating with diverse stakeholders, identifying needs, solving problems, following up, and managing multiple requests.
Working with internal clients, cross-functional teams, and time-sensitive processes taught me to listen before taking action, understand the underlying problem behind each request, and take ownership until a solution is found.
