As a Territory Manager with channel responsibilities, I consistently ranked as the top sales representative in my region. I achieved a major milestone by closing the largest end-user storage deal in the company's history. With the introduction of new products, I continued to excel, at one point contributing 60% of the company's total revenue worldwide just months after a product launch. My relentless prospecting and onboarding of new partners drove continuous quarter-over-quarter business growth. At trade shows, I cultivated a loyal following of enthusiastic customers and partners.

Even though I did not serve in the channel role for the entire year the early year deficit was overcome by a strong performance in the remainder of the year allowing me and my team mate to finish at more than 100% to goal.

In my roles as an Account Executive I was responsible for driving revenue in the states of Kansas and Missouri.
