About

Account Executive at Salesforce partnering directly with businesses to help grow and scale with a robust CRM solution. Primarily focused on increasing revenue, ROI and overall success for customers within my portfolio at Salesforce. Previously worked for PGi as a Marketing Development Manager/Digital Analyst for nearly 2 years. Have a strong background in sales, digital marketing, business management and business analytics along with extensive graphic design experience. Also have a strong understanding of SEM & SEO from being mentored by a leading marketing executive for the last 12 years. I worked my way up from an entry-level MDR role at PGi to a Digital Marketing Manager within only 1 year of being with the company. I’m a business graduate from Georgia Southern University and throughout my college career, I maintained numerous jobs in order to help pay for my tuition, one of which was an internship with The Piedmont Group, a financial advisory firm in Atlanta, GA. I utilized social media and other useful tools, such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, in order to generate new leads and aid the advisors in finding their specific target customers. This taught me a lot of valuable lessons and tactics to use in order to develop strong and healthy relationships with coworkers, as well as the clientele I was fortunate enough to work with.
