ABOUT TWANDA RHODES

I love connecting with people, developing their skills, and leading them to greatness. This all starts with a simple conversation. Along the way, we uncover what drives their goals, uncover their aspirations, what helps them persist through turmoil, and ultimately, we use a combination of all of the above to help them surpass goals. Sometimes this pertains to sales goals, sometimes this may pertain to business development, and at other times it may lead to career development. This skill has allowed me to establish meaningful relationships built on trust, mutual respect, and establish myself a leader amongst my peers in Face to Face and Virtual Facilitation in my field. Why Me: • I was forced into sales by matter of necessity: I was broke. Motivated by money – I am a quick learner and master the knowledge of any product I sell. I have sold everything from Water Softeners to Penny stocks, Wireless services and much more. I am a tenacious hunter who does not take “no” for an answer and utilizes my communication skills to allow the consumer to ultimately feel as if it was their personal decision to buy – not mine. • To be a great leader one must be a great follower. Not every top performer can lead and/or influence a team My leadership skills are structured on people first, sales second, and remaining human. I have created coached and/or managed teams of 10-20 people, hands on approach in training materials. I’ve successfully taught strategic sales and operations to teams, applying effective sales tactics that have proven to exceed quotas. With this managerial background, I can certainly achieve the same in a leadership role for my next employer. • I have experience in project management, I am adept in student engagement, and curriculum planning. Moreover, while my on-the-job experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, including first-rate presentation and time management abilities, I excel at: o Creating and delivering training on workplace tasks, procedures, and behaviors. o Instructing entry level to senior staff members on, leadership skills, sales, product management, and various CRMs. o Utilizing advanced technology in training sessions and increasing mobile business understanding to delivery engaging content. o Developing job aids, training manuals, working side by side with Partners to reach their expected goals o Delivering reporting updates, training expectations, and strategic plans for meeting and/or exceeding quotas
