What I'm looking for
I am a goal-driven and accomplished sales professional with significant experience in business development, account management, and revenue generation. My career has been marked by a consistent ability to exceed sales targets and drive business growth through strategic planning and creative marketing initiatives. I have a proven track record in both B2B and B2C sales management, particularly in the SaaS sector, where I have successfully led teams and developed effective sales strategies.
Throughout my career, I have excelled at building strong relationships with clients, which has been instrumental in maximizing retention and driving referral business. My recent role as the Founding Growth Team Sales Lead at BESTYAI allowed me to co-author and execute an outbound sales playbook while training new hires. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with clients, understand their needs, and educate them on products and services, consistently closing sales and exceeding revenue goals.
