What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a KPI-driven sales and operations role where I can lead teams, sharpen outbound conversion, and protect retention through disciplined coaching, performance accountability, and measurable growth.

I’m a strategic Sales & Operations leader with multi-industry experience spanning call center management, B2B/B2C sales, client retention, and revenue growth. I combine prospecting discipline with KPI-driven execution to consistently improve pipeline performance and results.

In Sales Development roles, I run outbound prospecting through cold calling, email, LinkedIn, and SMS campaigns to generate qualified opportunities. I handle objections, qualify decision-makers, schedule appointments, and use multi-touch outreach sequences to improve engagement and conversion—while keeping prospect data accurate in CRM systems.

On the operations and leadership side, I’ve managed high-volume sales floors as a Retention Manager and guided teams through structured performance frameworks as a Conversion Manager. I recruit, train, and coach agents, design incentive structures aligned to monthly targets, and implement accountability systems using daily/weekly KPI performance management.

Earlier in my career, I also built strong discipline through civil engineering work as an Assistant Engineer—interpreting engineering designs, coordinating with surveyors, resolving on-site discrepancies, and completing measurement certification. That technical foundation strengthened how I work: detail-oriented, accountable, and focused on delivering quality under real-world constraints.
