Results-driven sales professional with expertise in lead generation.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven sales professional with a strong track record in lead generation, appointment setting, and consistently exceeding sales targets. My career has been marked by significant achievements, including booking 58 meetings in just 10 weeks at the ENTERTAINER, where I utilized cold calling techniques to achieve a remarkable 90% show rate. My proactive approach led to the procurement and onboarding of a lead scraping tool, Prospeo, which enabled my team to book 106 meetings in the same timeframe.
As the Founder and CEO of Leads 4 SaaS, I successfully operated a B2B Cold Email Lead Generation agency, managing seven clients and booking an average of four qualified meetings per client each month. My experience as a Finance Manager at Wiser further honed my skills in stakeholder management and operational efficiency, where I implemented tools that improved processes and saved costs. I am now seeking a tech-sales role that offers mentorship and a supportive environment to further develop my sales skills.
