What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an early sales team where my judgment and initiative count. I want to run outbound, handle objections, book qualified meetings, and grow with AI-enabled sales workflows.

I’m a sales-focused founder-operator who’s owned strategy, marketing, and commercial decisions end-to-end for two years—while staying hands-on with outbound prospecting. I cold-call, DM, and email prospects to book qualified appointments, then take them through first-contact objections toward booked calls.

My work sits at the intersection of outreach execution and commercial judgment: I manage lead tracking and outreach workflows in GoHighLevel (GHL) and HubSpot, coordinate with teams via Slack and Notion, and run calls over Zoom. I also bring fast, face-to-face experience from high-volume customer work, where I read people quickly and stay calm under pressure.

What sets me apart is how I adapt my message to the audience—communicating value clearly in English, Russian, Ukrainian, and German, and handling pushback without flinching. I also apply structured negotiation technique from a University of Michigan course to aim for win-win outcomes in live conversations.

Right now, I’m building AI-engineering fluency alongside sales fundamentals through an AI Engineering course, including prompt engineering and AI-assisted workflows. I’m looking for an early sales team where judgment and initiative matter more than tenure.
