About Nancy Arnold

I\'m relentless about showing up each day with intentionality and striving to inspire others. I’m driven by my WHY, to make a positive difference in the lives of the individuals and teams I lead, the colleagues I partner with, and the customers I serve. Before Inside Sales was even cool, I made the decision to utilize my business, sales, and leadership skills and help companies build inside sales organizations. Now with over twenty years of experience in building and leading profitable and high-performing inside sales organizations, my passion and commitment to the inside sales model and the teams I lead, is stronger than ever. I lead with a people-first approach, which for me means the journey is more important than the destination. It’s about rewarding the process rather than just the outcome. Recognizing success along the way, in addition to the outcome, results in greater employee satisfaction, teamwork, increased productivity, and better results. I\'ve been told; that I\'m one of the best leaders people have had, I listen to, care about, and empower my leaders. I\'ve found that staying physically and mentally active and in a continuous state of learning makes me happier, healthier and I believe more interesting and more valuable. Lou Holtz said, “In this world, you’re either growing or you’re dying, so get in motion and grow.” With a track record of developing team members into next-generation leaders, I make it a priority to focus on coaching team members at all levels, recognizing the importance and need for personal and career development. There is no “quit” in me. I believe with the right mindset, anything is possible. I am a strong strategic leader with the ability to make things happen and get things done. I quickly access the needs of a business, develop strategic and operational plans, and successfully execute those plans. I\'ve completed six NYC marathons, achieved because I was running with a purpose. I am proud to be a member of Team Fox and work with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
