WHY I ENJOY WHAT I DOI’m a marathon runner. This requires nothing short of grit, discipline, a rigorous plan, and love for the sport. Serving in sales, I have the same intuition to see a company’s potential gains, and I work methodically to drive business success. Not only am I self-motivated to do so, I thrive in leading teams to achieve that success and company growth.Also, a running training program may seem simple on paper, but it doesn’t account for potential barriers. When those arise, I find ways to make adjustments and overcome them. In sales, using similar intuition and experience, I can strategically plan, forecast sales, evaluate the market, and leverage my team to grow the business. The end result ✧ a finish line or closing a sale ✧ is simply the product of my work ethic and commitment to the task at hand. I do both with absolute joy and positivity, energized and fueled by such success.CENTER FOR SALES STRATEGY | TOP TEN REPORT✦ WORK ETHIC: Committed to a long-term career in sales, putting in the time and energy to get it right.
