@fasikatefera
Business development professional specializing in sales, client success, lead generation, CRM, and building lasting business relationships.
What I'm looking for
I am a business development and client relationship professional with over four years of experience working with U.S.-based companies in remote, fast-paced environments. Throughout my career, I have built expertise in business development, enterprise sales, account management, lead generation, customer success, appointment setting, virtual assistance, and CRM administration. I have experience engaging with decision-makers ranging from small business owners to C-level executives, conducting warm and cold outreach, qualifying opportunities, managing sales pipelines, and nurturing long-term client relationships.
Most recently, I worked as an Account Executive, selling to enterprise-level organizations and communicating directly with CEOs and senior executives. My responsibilities included managing warm leads through Outreach, conducting strategic cold calls, qualifying prospects through discovery conversations, scheduling meetings, maintaining CRM accuracy, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to move opportunities through the sales cycle. I have also worked as a Real Estate Acquisition Manager, Appointment Setter, Marketing Lead Generator, Cold Caller, Virtual Assistant, and Quality Assurance Specialist, giving me a well-rounded understanding of sales operations, customer experience, and business growth.
Beyond sales, I enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies, improving business processes, and building meaningful relationships with clients. I adapt quickly to new industries and systems, communicate effectively across diverse teams, and thrive in environments where I can contribute to measurable results. I am passionate about continuous learning, professional development, and helping organizations grow through strategic communication, operational excellence, and a customer-first approach.
