Work History

Inside Sales Manager

Agile Financial Systems
03.2024 - Current
  • Building sales process from start to finish; transitioning from channel based motion to selling direct
  • Creating net new documentation for sales with crossover into marketing
  • Providing analysis and feedback for standing up SalesForce as well as accompanying toolset.
  • Used revenue goals as well as customer data to help plan KPIs for reps
  • Hired full team of SDRs/Inside Sales Reps and currently training them to be success.


The glaring question here is probably, 'Why am I looking to move so soon?' This is my first time rolling up to an Owner/CEO and the workflow is very disorganized and sporadic. I have been with the team for over a month without a written commission plan and was encouraged to quickly hire a team without the proper sales tools for them to succeed. I currently have 2 employees who have started and a few more starting in the coming weeks and we have yet to set up salesforce, purchase/trial an engagement tool and I had to create ICP documentation that marketing actually never had or created. I am a hard worker and would never quit without trying to push through, but I believe it is best to explore better options as I am anticipating an organizational implosion.
