I am an aggressive, focused, results-oriented former business owner and account manager with a multi-faceted background.

I use relationship selling to expand business with existing clients, bring dormant territories to profitability, and develop new clients. I work collaboratively, am known as a problem-solver and have a reputation for dissecting business and listening to customers to provide best product/solution to meet needs and consistently deliver impressive results. I adhere to high ethical standards, thrive in fast-paced environments, and remain calm in high-pressure situations. I use my in-depth understanding of sales cycle with flexibility to function as hunter, farmer, sniper, or sharpshooter to overcome obstacles and close the deal. With a background as a stand-up comedian I bring to the table excellent communication skills geared toward connecting with customers and closing business. Areas of Expertise: Sales Cycle Knowledge | Relationship Selling | Interpersonal Communication Skills | Negotiation | Conflict Resolution G-Link | Salesforce | Excel | Powerpoint | Email Management | SPIN Selling | Time Management | Travel Planning Am currently seeking opportunities in packaging in a growing organization that values individual contribution and collaborative leadership.
