“Being on the board of the WCEC has been rewarding in that I can give back to the community through events like this one. I look forward to sharing my story of rising from a sales account rep to VP of Sales, and to giving tips and advice to women entrepreneurs who are starting and growing their businesses, such as: how to deliver a stellar first impression, getting to the decision maker, know your competitors, be humble but confident, and how to ask for the sale.”

“Sometimes, small tweaks and changes can make the biggest impact on sales results … but only if you know which small tweaks and changes to make. I am proud to be on the WCEC panel amongst such accomplished sellers. I’m excited to share what our team of Door Openers® has found works, as well as what doesn’t work, to open more doors, close more sales and just make selling easier.’
