At Branch49 I specialize in turning cold leads into real revenue through trust-driven conversations. While my day-to-day involves cold calling across a variety of campaigns each month, my true focus is on building rapport, uncovering pain points, and opening the door to meaningful business opportunities. I act as a broker of trust—bridging the gap between initial outreach and long-term value by leading with relevance, empathy, and precision.

As a solar sales representative working door to door across the country, I gained valuable experience in direct customer engagement, territory management, and high-performance sales strategy. I was responsible not only for driving personal sales, but also for leading and managing a team of reps, providing hands-on training, and helping new team members develop effective communication and closing techniques. My role involved traveling to new markets, building customer trust in fast-paced environments, and consistently hitting performance targets while coaching others to do the same.

As a commercial electrician, I worked as part of a skilled team handling a range of electrical installations, repairs, and system upgrades on large-scale projects. My responsibilities included reading blueprints, running conduit, wiring electrical panels, installing lighting and power systems, and ensuring all work met safety codes and industry standards. I collaborated closely with other trades and project managers to keep timelines on track and job sites running smoothly. With a focus on quality craftsmanship and teamwork, I took pride in delivering reliable electrical solutions on time and within scope.
