David Rolls's Linkedin Analytics

Hey, I'm David! I'm an Account Executive at Teamtailor; if you're looking for an ATS that will help you attract more talent, save you time on admin, or just be more customisable, then we might be worth checking out! Want more info or to chat? Drop me a DM here or an email to david.rolls@teamtailor.com When I'm not trying to close deals, I'm usually watching Chelsea, gaming, travelling, writing jokes as an amateur Stand-up comedian, or at the gym / doing BJJ. I really do love Sales, as I find the art of communicating with other humans endlessly complex and fascinating. Reading books has helped me enormously in my career. Some of my favourites are: - Never Split the Difference - Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins - Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman - New Sales. Simplified. - Way of the Wolf - Fear Bubble by Ant Middleton ______________________ My background: I've been in Sales since 2011. Initially, honestly, I hated it. My first role was a boiler room Telemarketing role, and I was terrible. I dropped out of sales for a year, but after I saw Wolf of Wall Street, it inspired me to give it another go... cringe, but true. Whilst working a few different Sales jobs, honing my craft and focusing on personal development, I spent the next couple of years saving to go solo backpacking and 'find myself'. After a few months having a blast in SE Asia, I returned to the UK and needed a job. This is the part where I tell you I fell into Recruitment. I had great success as a 360 Recruiter helping Tech Start-ups grow their teams, and learned loads about the art of human communication. After working my way up to Manager level, I decided I wanted a change. I took some time out to try self-employed life, helping Recruitment Agencies win more Retained business and optimise their Business Development Strategy. But it wasn't what I wanted to do long-term, and gave me time to think on my next move. I'd been looking at SaaS sales for a few years as a potential career move, and I decide to make the leap. In Jan 2024, I started my first SaaS role as a BDR at aircall, an AI-driven VOIP solution. I love Sales and post content regularly on LinkedIn. I try not to take myself too seriously, so if you ever see me doing that, feel free to tear me down :)
