Pipeline Producer & Lead Generator | Lifelong Learner & Teacher

With my background in selling financial and insurance products and then changing my career to become a software automation test engineer, I have combined the best practices from both experiences into my current career, SaaS sales. With the goal of scaling my outreach effort, and leveraging automation for greater efficiency.  

I have successfully transitioned from B2C insurance sales to a career as a software test engineer without a computer science degree. While working full-time as an insurance agent and studying to become a manual software tester, then upgraded my career and grew into an SDET. However, after finding my professional calling in Software Sales, I have transitioned back into my first passion - Sales. Now crushing my monthly generating quota in B2B SaaS sales. 


Key Points:
Software Sales & Development  | Lead Generation | Strategic Outreach - Cold Calls & Cold Emails
