Inside sales and online live-chat sales professional who exceeds quotas and drives high-value customer outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven sales professional specializing in inside sales and online live-chat sales, known for exceeding revenue goals and delivering high-value customer experiences. I was ranked #1 online salesperson in 2024, generating $2.7M in sales while exceeding monthly quotas, and I consistently win by using consultative selling, lead generation, quote creation, and strategic upselling to grow order values.
Across retail and leadership roles, I’ve built strong customer relationships and improved performance through training, inventory and merchandising support, and sales forecasting. I’ve managed e-commerce platforms on Amazon and Shopify, run storefront and online operations, and now support the sales process with Zendesk, 8x8, Slack, CRM systems, and 3D design software to guide customers from engagement to after-sales referrals.
