About Safina Shaheed

A top-performing Software Sales Leader, I have a proven track record of success in driving consistent revenue growth for industry-leading technology companies.Leveraging extensive sales experience across a wide variety of software solutions, I know how to help companies capture both market share and mindshare. Moreover, I empower our customers, many of whom are Fortune organizations such as Apple, Cisco, Intuit, HP, Salesforce and many more to apply innovative technologies to achieve their business goals.As the tech industry continues to branch off into niche markets, software businesses must remain forward-thinking and agile while building lasting partnerships with key industry influencers. My ability to develop C-level relationships with global technology leaders has allowed me to continually build new pipelines, penetrate new accounts, exceed quotas, and increase revenue.Absolute dedication to customer success is the driving force of everything I do. With a “Killer Instinct” for sales opportunities honed from years of industry experience and product research, I quickly zero in on a client’s pain point, articulate key differentiators, create a vision for future scope, find a targeted solution, and sell exceptional value and ROI.Persistent and creative with proven negotiating skills, I do not take no for an answer when convinced that we can drive our client’s success. I consistently take the lead in winning large accounts away from key competitors, revitalizing stagnant client relationships, and negotiating favorable pricing and terms with large commercial enterprises. This tenacity, combined with a strong commitment to customer success, is often rewarded with Vendor of Choice distinctions and long-lasting, profitable client relationships.I am on LinkedIn to expand my professional network and explore new opportunities as a software sales leader.
