What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values client relationships and offers opportunities for growth in a dynamic sales environment.

With over four decades of sales experience, I have honed my skills to add significant value to any sales or marketing team. My proficiency in online sales and modern software tools such as Cloud Talk, Discord, Zoom, and Microsoft Suite enables me to meet the demands of remote work effectively. I am passionate about driving client satisfaction and managing leads to ensure successful outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Customer Success Manager and Freelance Sales Representative, where I focused on telephonic and online sales, client liaison, and market research. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to own and manage Dovetail Directory, where I successfully secured and retained clients through effective sales strategies. I am committed to continuous learning and adapting to new sales methodologies to stay ahead in the industry.
