About Lauren Szuchan

For the first 23 years of my life, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up.But I did always have a knack for selling and negotiating (with my friends and family).My mom used to say, “You should be in sales.”I’d respond, “What even is sales - going door to door?”Everything clicked when I joined Red Bull. It was my first true sales role, and I loved it. Building relationships in the restaurant and bar industry, solving problems, and negotiating wins gave me energy. I realized I thrived on talking to new people and helping businesses grow.I wanted to take that passion into tech, which led me to an Account Executive role at SpotHopper.Within my first 6 months, I broke company sales records, sold 4x quota, and earned President’s Club. By month 9, I hit the top progression path and was promoted to Senior AE. After 2.5 years, I was ready for my next challenge.I joined Attentive as a Mid-Market AE to continue leveling up and working larger, more complex deals.Soon after, I found what I was truly looking for: a smaller organization where I could make a big impact and help scale growth across the US. I made the move to SourceWhale, and hit the ground running. In my first month, I exceeded 653% of quota and finished #2 in revenue company-wide. Just four months in, I earned the Senior AE title - the fastest promotion in company history.Today, my goal as a seller is simple: continue learning, growing, and breaking records.Through my personal brand, I share the habits, strategies, and lessons I learn along the way - so others in sales can do the same.
