1. I did not choose sales, sales chose me. At the time, I was sitting on the client-side of the table and noticed that the sales rep who was supposed to be selling me, did not understand the challenges that I – as his client – was facing. After a bit of good humored ribbing on my part, he asked me to join him and his SVP of Sales for lunch to impart my self-professed wisdom. I received a job offer before dessert.
    

2. I'm proud to be a 'Jack of all Trades'. In fact, my success in selling a variety of digital marketing solutions across an array of industries (i.e. fashion, food, beverages, beauty, retail, CPGs and healthcare) is because I've insisted on learning a little about a lot – or should I say, a little about everything. This is not to say that I lack expertise in the products I sell – that's not it at all. It's more so that I apply my discovery in a single industry, service or product to the next. I am a big picture thinker and a trend watcher; which makes me an even greater asset to my customers. 
    

3. Listening is my superpower. Every salesperson is (or should be) a natural problem solver, but I find that many fall short by jumping to the rescue too quickly. After I get someone talking, I rarely interrupt because I want the person sitting across from me to feel heard. Once I have the whole story, I have a laser-like ability to cut to the heart of a problem and reveal a previously unseen path forward.​
    

I am actively seeking a new opportunity. If you have something in mind, I'd love to learn more.
