Nurture and cultivate relationships with key stakeholders, including retail executives, e-commerce managers, and marketing professionals, to understand their needs and challenges.
Collaborate with the sales team to develop and execute strategies to convert leads into qualified prospects and ultimately close deals.
Stay current with industry trends, competitor analysis, and market dynamics to identify new business opportunities and maintain a competitive edge.

Experiences Which Confidently Represent You

I understand the SaaS sales cycle and have experience selling and renewing SaaS accounts.
My work includes multiple approaches to prospecting and adhering to a clean sales process; I’m skilled in conducting outreach, qualifying prospects, and remaining organized.
When working with clients, I take a consultative selling approach. I ask for the next steps and get the right people in the room to facilitate successful calls and meetings.
I’ve experienced selling to individuals and teams; whether it’s a single executive or multiple stakeholders, finding alignment and getting buy-in across multiple team members is my specialty.
I’m a down-to-earth, empathetic salesperson.
My ethos is to win by displaying the value of what our product delivers to my clients, i.e., selling on value, not features/functions
There’s no 'I' in my team. The right sales approach is collaborative selling with my team. We consult each other, remove ego, and identify the best approach together.
I’m happy to lead and give feedback in practice roles played to learn and hone my skills, celebrate other people's wins, and welcome them to celebrate in mine.
I stay diligent and adaptive, trying new tactics and pitches because one sales solution does not fit all clients.
I am comfortable in a dynamic environment where the product is advancing quickly, and the message for my sale will evolve for new and existing clients.
