Summary

With a large variety of life experiences, and interactions with individuals of all walks of life. I find, that I have a natural ability to relate with a vast variety of potential clients. This becomes useful for me because, I have found that the easiest and most efficient way to sell a product is to relate and gain trust with your client. I was also apart of the first individuals to help get Oggvo off the ground, so with that, I believe that my ability to adapt to change and overcome constant hurdles or objections during the sales process will be very valuable for me as well the company. I am also very humble and teachable with a great desire to learn, improve, and innovate new ways to be successful.
