@jasonsokana
B2B business development consultant who drives revenue growth through consultative sales, pipeline optimization, and data-driven execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a B2B and B2C sales professional with 8+ years of experience driving revenue growth through consultative selling, operational optimization, and data-driven execution. I align analytics, process, and cross-functional collaboration across the full sales lifecycle to improve pipeline quality and business outcomes.
In my current role as a Business Development Consultant at Urban Science, I leverage performance data to drive revenue, adoption, retention, and profitability. I’ve driven 8–10% annual regional revenue growth by converting high-value dealer opportunities using consultative discovery and market analysis, and I reduced sales cycle duration by 10% by prioritizing high-intent accounts with structured pipeline execution.
Previously, as an Internet Sales Manager at Meade Lexus Lakeside, I consistently achieved 95–100% of monthly quota through targeted prospecting and consultative product demonstrations. I also reduced lead response times by streamlining sales workflows and improved customer retention by 8–10% through structured follow-up cadences and proactive engagement.
I’ve also led teams in digital-first sales operations, including managing a multi-tier organization of 4 supervisors and 40+ agents at Lithia Motors, resulting in 10% YoY revenue growth, 5% lower customer acquisition costs, and 15% higher team productivity. I bring a strong focus on KPI-driven performance, process improvement, and clear handoffs that strengthen customer retention—from lead management through conversion and re-engagement.
