Jonah Kirchner
@jonahkirchner
Ambitious MBA candidate with hands-on B2B sales, business development, and small-business ownership experience.
What I'm looking for
I am an MBA candidate with a strong foundation in business administration, marketing, and nonprofit leadership, graduating with a 4.0 GPA in my MBA program and a 3.8 GPA for my bachelor's degree. I combine academic rigor with practical sales and operations experience to drive results.
In a Sales & Business Development internship, I supported B2B prospect research, lead qualification, and outbound outreach, participated in discovery calls, and used Salesforce and HubSpot to manage pipeline and engagement. I contributed to lead-nurturing campaigns including email marketing and Google Ads, and helped create sales-enablement content that supported client acquisition.
I founded and grew a local landscaping business where I led direct sales, pricing negotiations, customer retention, employee scheduling, billing, and payroll, and ultimately completed a successful transfer of the client list. That role sharpened my entrepreneurial skills and practical understanding of customer lifecycle management.
I have sustained community engagement as a counselor with United Way, tutoring and mentoring elementary students and helping run an after-school program serving over 100 children. I bring a service-oriented approach, strong interpersonal skills, and a track record of delivering measurable contributions in sales, operations, and community programs.
