Summary

I'm an accomplished sales professional who was promoted internally to Stericycle's Nation Account Manager team in less than one year with the company. I’m known for competitiveness, relationship building, and goal-oriented mindset. In 2022 at RevGrow I played a pivotal role as I consistently surpassed my $20,000 monthly sales targets by exclusively networking and cold calling. Currently excelling at Stericycle, I'm on track to join President's Club due to my consistency in securing over 90 new clients every month. What differentiates me from other sales professionals is my ability to provide an excellent customer experience (CX), consistently obtain referral business, truly understand a prospect's needs, and develop a well-tailored solution based on their situation.
