About Owen Haness

I’m a marketing student with hands-on experience across sales, lead generation, networking, and event organization. During my time in Los Angeles, I worked in door-to-door solar sales with Freedom Forever, where I ended the summer season a top 5 rep as a rookie. That role strengthened my resilience, persuasive communication, and ability to thrive in a competitive, fast-paced environment.I currently work at CMIT Solutions in B2B lead generation, making cold calls and sending targeted outreach emails to connect with prospects, qualify opportunities, and support pipeline growth. This position continues to build my sales communication, CRM usage, and relationship-building skills.Previously, I completed an internship in London for HomeLess Made, where I helped coordinate exhibitions, conventions, and networking events—experiences that sharpened my organization, professionalism, and ability to build meaningful connections. Earlier roles, including working as a cart boy at a country club, taught me the importance of customer service, teamwork, and creating a positive client experience.I’m actively pursuing opportunities in sales where I can combine my communication skills, competitive mindset, and passion for helping people find the right solutions.I am actively seeking interview opportunities and am available to start in June 2026.
