Sales representative who builds pipelines, closes deals, and strengthens client relationships.
What I'm looking for
I’m a sales representative focused on outbound prospecting, solution selling, and building lasting customer relationships. I bring experience across payment services and real estate, pairing strong communication with a quota-driven mindset.
In merchant services, I built a daily sales pipeline through prospecting and quota-based outreach, presenting payment processing equipment and customer engagement solutions. I negotiated contracts, pricing, and service terms, and I earned top-performer recognition for three consecutive quarters within a large sales team.
Across my account executive experience, I consistently met or exceeded monthly revenue targets by managing the full sales cycle. I document account activity using Salesforce CRM, prepare sales reports and forecasts, and support customers with ongoing service and training-backed product knowledge.
In real estate, I conduct market research to match client needs with properties, manage transaction documentation with accuracy and compliance, and maintain a client database to track leads and follow-ups. I also develop relationships with local real estate professionals to strengthen client service.
