I have been “selling” things for my entire life without really ever thinking about it until someone hired me and said, “I want you to sell our printing services and graphic design to a higher level of customer than we have been serving.”

For me, SALES has always been about client services + technical knowledge + consulting. It just starts with thinking about what people are struggling with, moving to “how can we solve these problems, issues or challenges,” and then it usually ends with me delivering something and being paid some portion of the invoice.

I view my 8+ years of sales experience as the place where I learned about all of these things. I have always been the bridge between understanding a customer’s needs and communicating that to the delivery team, whether that was for a printing job, a software developer, or in managing my own team of designers and programmers, etc.

Now, I am eager to apply these skills in a new way. That could be Client Services, or that could be in Development for a non-profit. Either way, I am confident of my account management / client services skills, as well as my communication and management skills.

Thank you for the opportunity to explain this.
