Summary

Sales professional with a strong background in prospecting, relationship-building, and revenue generation. My experience in Finance, Media Production and Hospitality has equipped me with a consultative sales approach, enabling me to uncover client needs, handle objections, and deliver tailored solutions. I've completed two intensive Technology Sales courses, gaining hands-on experience with cold outreach, CRM tools, and discovery frameworks such as SPIN and BANT. Now, I am eager to apply these skills as an SDR at a high-growth SaaS company, contributing to a dynamic team and driving pipeline growth.
