👋 Thanks for stopping by. I hope we can connect soon. LI is the only social media platform I use so you’ll find a fun mix of both personal and professional daily posts from yours truly.

💼 I founded my own sales advisory consultancy after 25 years in sales. It’s called Ripple Effect Sales Advisory because I believe strongly in the power of the ripple effect we can have on each other’s lives.

📊 Sales Operations was my first love in sales and where I spent half of my career. I’m data driven and enjoyed being the liaison between field based sales teams and corporate HQs.

💰During my first year in SaaS sales, I tried to quit three times. I know what it’s like to be at the bottom of the rankings and it’s not fun. I put in the work to become a trusted advisor. The following year I was Rep of the Year earning my highest W-2 ever (even more than I made as an RVP Sales)!

🗓️ I hit my annual quota in 9 months time at three different SaaS companies. I love everything about sales, but my forte was using data to my advantage. Whether it was account planning, analyzing data and reports, or researching my prospects and customers, I acted as the CEO of my territory.

🫶 I absolutely love mentoring others, especially women who are just starting their professional sales career. If you’re looking for a mentor, DM me! We need strong female leadership more than ever!

📖 I wrote a book called “The Layoff Cooties: It’s Them, Not You.” It’s part of my healing process after an unexpected layoff last year. It publishes 11/5/24 and you can get it on Amazon. Don’t forget to leave a review!

🛋️ I host the online community group The Layoff Cooties Couch: the safest seat to connect with others healing from the emotional trauma of a layoff. Link to join is in the Feature section (scroll if need be).

💪 Everything in sales (and life) is about Attitude, Skill, and Effort (EASE). All my struggles (and yours) can be tied back to one or more of those three things. Think about that for a minute 🤔 It’s true!

🙌🏻 I started posting daily since 11/30/23 and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! Look forward to meeting you soon!
