Performance-driven SaaS sales professional with a track record of success.
What I'm looking for
I am a performance-driven SaaS sales professional with over 2 years of experience in full-cycle sales, excelling from outbound BDR to closing SMB deals. My journey has been marked by consistently surpassing quotas, generating over £3 million in pipeline as a BDR, and successfully transitioning into a Senior BDR-SMB Account Executive hybrid role. In this capacity, I built a £1.2 million pipeline and closed deals for customers with under 10 users, typically with an ACV of less than £10k.
My expertise lies in utilizing BANT and SPIN frameworks, along with Salesforce, to drive sales success. I take pride in delivering tailored presentations that highlight ROI and address business pain points, which has significantly increased deal velocity and win rates. I am adept at maintaining pipeline health and forecasting accuracy through disciplined Salesforce hygiene and proactive deal progression, ensuring that I contribute effectively to my team's success.
