@jacksonfranklin
Confident sales professional with 2.5+ years in SaaS and data sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a confident and high-converting sales professional with over 2.5 years of experience specializing in SaaS, API, and data sales. I excel at owning the full sales cycle, from cold outbound to closing deals, with a strong focus on qualifying leads, running effective discovery sessions, handling objections, and confidently closing deals. My efforts have played a key role in record-breaking quarters and successful new product launches.
At Serac Group, I was the fastest representative to be promoted from Business Development Representative (BDR) to Account Executive (AE), achieving this milestone in record time. I have successfully closed net-new business in a 360 capacity, even without brand recognition or marketing support. My commitment to mentorship has also allowed me to guide multiple BDRs into AE roles, fostering a collaborative and high-performing sales environment.
