About Evan Hargis

My passion for sales and building relationships has led me to be a top performer for several years with Groupon. I began as a Business Development Representative and quickly moved into the Manager role, then Director. I now am a Director over high-end, revenue-producing accounts. I do not manage employees under me, although I have been a part of the mentor program voluntarily for several years. I am consistently a top performer, President’s Club 5x winner, and brought in a revenue to Groupon of over $15 Million in five years, constantly exceeding well above my sales targets. My specialty is mastering the numbers game while also consistently thinking outside the box to create massive revenue-producing relationships and partnerships. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t put in more activity (calling, emailing, etc) than is required in my role. Over the last several years I have built partnerships with large associations and businesses that have generated incredible revenue for Groupon despite the fact that I am in a single account role versus enterprise. I am also a part of the Business Development Council at Groupon where I was hand picked based on my sales performance and attitude. As a part of the council, I strategize creative ways to help Groupon run the sales organization better and work to produce constructive solutions to common problems the sales representatives face. I am passionate about sales and devoted to creating meaningful and lasting partnerships between my clients and Groupon. My authentic devotion to finding a win-win for both parties has made me incredibly successful. Despite my success at Groupon however, I am always seeking to learn and grow. I know there is a lot left for me to learn and I love being challenged. I am enjoying the sales journey!
