What I'm looking for

I am seeking an SDR role in a growth-oriented company where I can leverage my lead generation, outreach, and pipeline-building skills and grow into higher sales responsibilities.

I am a highly motivated sales professional with over 8 years of experience in lead generation, cold calling, and client relationship management across multiple industries.

I have assisted 100+ businesses with brand strategy, naming, and domain acquisition while generating and qualifying inbound leads through marketplace engagement. I consistently build pipelines, book qualified meetings, and close opportunities with founders, entrepreneurs, and SMBs.

In operations roles I recruited, trained, and managed sales and admin staff, implemented processes to improve lead follow-up efficiency, and supported revenue growth through well-prepared proposals and tenders.

I bring strong communication, negotiation, and objection-handling skills, familiarity with HubSpot and Salesforce, and a results-driven approach looking to transition into a Sales Development Representative (SDR) role.
