What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values strong sales execution and client relationships.

I am a Sales Development Representative with a strong background in B2B sales, particularly within the financial services sector. My experience at Goldman Sachs has equipped me with the skills to manage and qualify inbound leads effectively, ensuring that I deliver high-precision pricing and execution for institutional hedge fund clients. I pride myself on my ability to maintain and advance client relationships through multichannel outreach, providing actionable market insights that drive account growth.

Prior to my role at Goldman Sachs, I excelled as a Sales Development Representative at The Wise Lotus, where I consistently exceeded targets by generating qualified meetings through strategic cold outreach. My proficiency in using CRM systems like Salesforce has enabled me to manage pipelines effectively, resulting in improved conversion rates and enhanced collaboration with Account Executives. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in sales execution and client-focused communication to contribute to a dynamic team.
