CHERRY HILL

Summary

I’m a people-first salesperson with real-world experience in both high-end hospitality and direct sales. At the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, I sold luxury daybeds, cabanas, and VIP nightclub packages for LIV, regularly hitting and surpassing my numbers by connecting quickly and genuinely with all kinds of customers. I also did door to door solar sales, which taught me how to handle rejection, stay persistent, and sharpen my ability to sell through straight up conversation and confidence.Coming from a background as a competitive athlete, I naturally bring drive, discipline, and a team mentality to everything I do. My resume leans heavily into basketball, that’s where I developed my foundation, but what really fuels me is talking to people, building trust, and closing deals. I’m motivated, coachable, and ready to win in any performance based environment.Ask ChatGPT
