About Rachel Bunzel Cohen

I’m a lifelong seller. I love the hunt. I love the chase. And the deal. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.With over 16 years in sales, I’m a high-drive, high-discipline professional who believes that if you’re going to do something, you give it 150%—or don’t bother. I’m Type A (with a capital A), obsessed with the fundamentals, and always looking to elevate the craft of selling. I approach sales through storytelling, creativity, and curiosity. I push boundaries. I challenge assumptions. And I aim to leave my clients not just sold—but inspired. I’m genuinely excited about the power of AI—not just as a buzzword, but as a real opportunity to offload admin work and spend more time doing what I love: selling. Bring on the robots so I can go close the next deal.My early background in hospitality grounded me in what I believe is the core of great sales: customer service. It trained me to see everything through the customer’s eyes and to always do the right thing—even when no one’s watching. That approach has served me well. The relationships I build return again and again in trust, referrals, and long-term partnerships.‍‍ Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mom of two. I grew up in a big Italian family (yes, I will judge your pasta), and I find joy in cooking, travel, yoga, gardening, painting, and connecting with people from all walks of life.Whether I’m building pipeline, closing business, or helping a teammate strategize a deal, I bring energy, integrity, and a whole lot of hustle. Let’s connect.
