About

Ever since I was 5 years old, I have had a passion for sales. I was the kid outside in the HOTβ˜€οΈsun in Tucson, Arizona selling lemonadeπŸ‹ to my neighbors. If that was knocking on their doorπŸšͺ, or them coming to my stand, it was about the hunt, the sale, the process. ❀️ I grew up in a Greek πŸ‡¬πŸ‡· family, which means that I got to see what HARD WORK looks like firsthand. My mother always told me " David, If you're going to do something, give it 120%, or don't do it at all!". You could say that there was a lot of tough love in my family. AND YES my mother is 100% Greek! #Opa 🍽 🍷 Growth for me is the underlying passion that drives my sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit. In baseball ⚾️ you can fail 7 out of 10 times you're going to the hall of fame. So rejection is something I am comfortable with. #FailForward Sales Skills that I am obsessed with: πŸ‘‡πŸΌ Process-driven: {Objectives and Key Results} πŸ“² Product knowledge πŸ‘¨β€πŸ« Teaching ability 🏁 Closing πŸ—“ Time management πŸ“² Tech-savviness πŸ’» Prospecting Prospect-focused: πŸ—£ Persuasiveness πŸ€— Empathy πŸ‘‚πŸ» Active listening 🀝 Relationship building 😐 Conflict management πŸ₯³ Social Selling Soft skills: πŸ€” Curiosity πŸ˜‡ Honesty πŸ’¬ Effective communication πŸ“š Storytelling ability πŸ“£ Public speaking πŸ’ͺ Ambition πŸ—Ί Adaptability Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellence in devising and developing successful sales plans, that helped me identify my target market {ICP}.
