What I'm looking for
I've supported high-volume outbound and inbound sales at The Call Gurus, Specialty Life Insurance, and Wider Reach LLC, qualifying leads, resolving concerns, and building rapport with U.S. and Canadian clients.
At Specialty Life Insurance, I exceeded monthly sales targets by 20–30% by matching life and health coverage to client needs. I use Readymode, ViciDial, Convoso, Salesforce, and HubSpot to manage pipelines, document follow-up, and sustain conversions.
