About Laura Kresse
My mission is to help Nextep Business Consultants find their strengths, grow their skill set and help them achieve their goals both personally and professionally. I love to see my team members excel and in turn create meaningful solutions for the businesses we work with to elevate the employment experience and enrich people\'s lives. Since starting my career in March 2017 as a Business Consultant, I’ve generated over $4 million in revenue and consistently exceeded quota while mentoring others to do the same.I earned recognition early, becoming Business Consultant of the Month within three months of joining Nextep, winning my class RFP contest, and achieving President’s Club by the end of my first year. In 2018, I relocated from Tulsa, OK to launch the Nashville, TN market, finishing that year at 125% of quota and again earning President’s Club honors.Throughout my career, I’ve remained a consistent top performer:President’s Club Qualifier: 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023Quota Achievement: 125%(2018), 110%(2021), 105%(2022), 125%(2023), 108%(2025)Regional Sales Manager of the Year: 2021In 2024, I was given the privilege and responsibility to hire in Atlanta, helping grow our footprint in the Southeast. Most recently, I was promoted to Senior Regional Sales Manager in June 2025, after surpassing $3 million in lifetime sales as a leader.My leadership philosophy is grounded in taking full ownership of the role you\'re in—regardless of title—and leading by example. I believe the strongest teams are built when everyone acts with purpose and accountability. I also hold a deep belief in putting people first—whether it\'s clients, colleagues, or direct reports. I believe in people, process and planning and when you master those things, nothing can stop you. Nothing in any role within PEO sales is easy, so working with the people at Nextep is a true, day to day blessing.
