My Sales Training Began In The Fifth Grade. . . when I started playing sports.In elementary, middle and high school sports taught me how to bounce back after a defeat, manage my time, stay focused, develop and implement a strategy, assess the competition, prepare and practice, own my mistakes, celebrate wins, contribute to a team, manage conflict, and constantly improve my own performance. These skills and attributes have formed the foundation for my career. I earned full athletic scholarships to college in both football and basketball.My sales career has given me numerous opportunities to apply what I learned in sports and develop into a high-performing National / Regional / Key Account Manager & Business Development Manager. Some of my successes in the technology sales arena include:√Acknowledged with 4 consecutive President’s Club honors, along with Atlanta Major Account District Manager of the Year, in the Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions market for an industry-leading provider. Recruited to re-join the Company 3 years later and replicated earlier successes in HCM solutions. Additionally expanded career achievements with top 20% ranking and President’s Club recognition for sales of additional service offerings. (2000-2010)√Consistent success in shortening the average sales cycle for complex technology solutions.√In 2013 closed the largest sale in the Company out of a 500-member sales organization and met revenue plan with 2014 on-target performance for goal attainment.√Negotiated and closed on first contract within 6 months of hire reducing average sales cycle time by 50%.
