ABOUT NICOLE A. SAFAVI

Growing up, I have always been proficient at cultivating relationships. Initiating dynamicinteractions with new people, engaging in rhetoric with peers’, debating various topics, engaging audiences through presentations and impactful speeches. All these skills come naturally to me. Throughout my career listening to the feedback and inputs of business connections to better understand their needs is. Understanding a customer\'s business needs, goals, current concerns, expectations, and pain-points allows presenting my products and/or services tailored to the individual. Conversing has always been second nature, but the importance of meaningful understanding through listening became a developed skill during my time as a Real Estate Broker. By fully engaging in the customer’s needs and asking the right questions, I came to understand how to best meet those needs. Along with hard work, persistence, dedication, continued education, goal-oriented mindset, and my ability to absorb coaching I moved my career forward in the Sales and Marketing world. Over the years I have learned that bydeveloping a strategy when communicating with potential customers was my key to being successful.\"How can my services help?\" As a naturally curious and empathetic person, being a good listener has improved both my personal and professional conversations and relationships. This mindset has become the foundation of a career. I didn\'t want to be seen as just another \"Sales\" person. I never wanted to just sell my services and/or products. It is important for me to build relationships! Earning their trust by building rapport, delivering solutions, and product knowledge aligning with their needs in my opinion shows the power of effective communication.This approach made it clear to me that my success, both in my personal life as well as my career, stem from my natural ability to listen, and build genuine connections. Knowledge is power, and being an open-minded, knowledge-hungry person has allowed me to evolve over time both in myprofessional and personal life. The combination of passion, persistence, knowledge, determination, and unyielding dedication to achieve my personal and professional goals are my core values. I am Nicole Ann Safavi, born and raised by a single father on Chicago\'s South Side.I was raised to be humble, honest, trustworthy, loyal, mindful and proud. I am a daughter, a mother, a friend, a role model, and a natural born leader. I pride myself on my ability to think \"outside of the box,\" and apply my creative personality into my work and relationships.
