About David Straub

I’m an accomplished sales executive with 20+ years of successful business development experience within new and existing markets. I have a strong record of sales performance and client satisfaction. I am recognized for revenue attainment and sales leadership in delivering client-focused solutions that are linked to business strategies. I excel at identifying new business opportunities and executing them to final close. I believe that strong relationships (and having a true personal interest in getting to know someone) is the key to sales success. Based on that I’m known for creating strong alliances and partnerships with my clients. Doing so is a key priority for me and what makes me successful in a sale and helps me rise above others. This also has led me to forge long-lasting relationships which often allows me to bring clients from one company to another and stay in contact with them for years. The depth and breadth of my sales experience has helped sales teams formalize their overall sales strategies as I am often called upon in a consultative way. My experience over the years in emerging technologies and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, along with my talent management and human capital experience, has positioned me as invaluable sales consultant for organizations looking to grow in these areas. I am a focused, competitive, hard-working sales-driven professional with expertise in managing complex sales cycles and closing business.Specialties: Strategic account management, strong presentation skills, strong negotiation skills
