SmartSense by Digi

As a Customer Success Manager at SmartSense, I am the primary point of contact for our clients after the sale. Leveraging my deep understanding of their industry and business processes, as well as my technical expertise in the SmartSense platform, I drive adoption and utilization of our products. 

I go beyond showcasing central features, tailoring solutions to ensure clients achieve their desired outcomes and maximize the value of our products.

I handle escalations and coordinate across departments to provide comprehensive support. In essence, I am dedicated to delivering tangible value and guiding our clients through their journey with SmartSense, from onboarding to ongoing success.

SmartSense delivers data-driven IoT solutions for food safety, facilities monitoring, and supply chain visibility, by providing actionable insight. 
 
Actionable insight is what enables companies to improve operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and manage product quality risk. SmartSense enables organizations to use wireless sensors, digital checklists, and advanced analytics to provide actionable insight based on remote sensing and artificial intelligence (AI). SmartSense uses these technologies to provide real-time insight at over 40,000 sites around the world. 
 
We believe that the future of retail, food service, and transportation is being shaped by companies who are using data to make more informed decisions and to make these decisions faster.  Since 2005, we have been passionate about transforming how organizations sense, monitor, and make decisions. We make it easy for companies to harness technology to do important things – to ensure food and medication safety, to improve worker productivity, and to manage risk.

Customer Success Manager

Skyword

We're like the matchmaker of the marketing world, but instead of setting people up, we connect brands with their audiences. Kinda like turning a brand into everyone's favorite Netflix show—something they can't get enough of.

As the Director of Brand Partnerships at Skyword, my role revolves around helping brands by changing the hearts and minds of their target audience with ahh-mazing content.

We're not here for the same old sameness, whether you're a marketing Goliath or a David. Instead, we dive deep, understanding what makes a brand special and why people should care. 

We strategize, we differentiate, and we embark on the journey of creation. It's not just about content; it's about purposeful content that resonates and leaves an impression. So, whether we're helping brands build an audience or getting that marketing formula dialed in, we've got the resources and the tech to do it efficiently and at scale.

I've been crowned as someone who's pretty fun to work with, so even if our professional compatibility isn't a match, consider me your forever cheerleader.

As a little girl, my dad would tell me over and over, “Bethany, you could sell snowshoes to a camel.” Admittedly, I have never sold anything to a camel, but Dad nailed it and here we are, 20+ years later, in a cross-industry sales and customer success career. 

So, what’s my secret? A relational person-centered and customer-centric approach to business that gets results.

Here is what I bring to the table:

🤝 Relationship builder and collaborator
🚀 Nurturing entrepreneur and self-starter with start-up expertise, launching successful go-to-market strategies and introducing innovative products and services. 
👨‍👩‍👧 Team leader, empowering and managing sales teams to surpass goals. 
🔥 Decades of sales and customer experience, offering a wealth of knowledge and expertise within SMB and the enterprise.
🧳 Bridge builder, connecting people and creating strong, cohesive teams. 
💪 Obstacle conqueror, skilled at tackling challenges and turning them into triumphs. Adaptable, comfortable with change, and not afraid to be bold and have tough conversations. 
🧠 Emotional intelligence, connecting deeply with team members to overcome sales hurdles together. 
🌟 Empathy champion, adept at understanding others' emotions and fostering deep connections. 
💡 Process improver, very organized in identifying areas for enhancement and streamlining operations for maximum efficiency. 

Whenever I am not managing a large portfolio of clients through the entire lifecycle, you'll find me volunteering in church and with other NP's, nose-deep in fiction books, sitting in a frigid cold plunge, or re-watching Brooklyn 99 (yes, again!). 

Specialties: Sales management, account management, customer acquisition, customer success, relationship building, sales strategies, cross-industry sales, negotiation, sales coaching, and mentoring.
