Learning Door to Door Sales..
As an entry-level door-to-door salesperson, I had a unique opportunity to sell phone, internet and television services for Verizon. Mostly targeting small to mid-sized retail locations (dentist, florists, etc.) across all five boroughs of New York City! Our team was selected for a new campaign in Los Angeles representing AT&T.
I learned how to generate face to face leads & handle direct sales; all while maintaining a high level of customer service and satisfaction. A part of the role included interviewing new sales candidates, performing sales workshops and field training.

There is something fundamental and magical about the Sales Development Representative position I think everybody should experience. Three main critical skills I developed as an SDR: cold calling, industry specific prospecting and CRM hygiene.
Reaching out to potential customers who have not expressed interest in my services 80 times a day built thick skin. Keeping the company's CRM system up-to-date showed me the importance of clean data. Developing a deep understanding of the pain points that professionals face, made me truly listen!

LEARNING TO BECOME A LEADER...
A leader should inspire and motivate their team, set a clear vision, make tough decisions, communicate effectively, lead by example, and continuously learn and grow. Through my sales journey, I learned valuable lessons about leadership and discovered that being a leader isn't just about delegating tasks and making decisions. It's also about empowering others and providing guidance and support when needed.
I work with clients in recruiting, sales, lead generation, and more, helping them achieve their goals and grow their businesses. I also took on the role of training entry-level sales representatives. and provided one-on-one coaching, training presentations, helping new sales reps develop their skills and become successful in their roles.
