About Amber McClure

For the past 20+ years, I have built a reputation as an approachable sales leader and a consistent collaborator. I strive to build enduring relationships with active listening and diligent follow-through. Skills and expertise include:• Leading and mentoring sales team to exceed target quotas. • Exceptional client retention proficiency as I maintained customer relationships with multiple prominent technology companies for well over a decade.• Building and maintaining an extensive network of finance and payment executives.• Long established ability to educate clients to understand and execute complex financial instruments and payment transactions. • Provide seamless client support in a highly organized method. • Distilling complex concepts into simple terms. When I\'m not maintaining or closing new client relationships, I can be found in the mountains hiking, skiing or playing ultimate frisbee. If you would like to know more, send me a message. I\'d be delighted to hear from you.
