President's Club winning Account Manager with over 4 years of experience in B2B SaaS sales across new business and account management.
Driven and highly capable rep who has exhibited considerable over-performance throughout a career in 360-degree sales roles, from lead generation to qualification and deal closing.
Secured cross-sell and upsell opportunities within existing mid-market clients to drive revenue growth through developing strong client relationships and building robust sales pipelines across KnowBe4's cybersecurity portfolio.
The role involves strategically partnering with customers to educate and enhance their security posture through tailored solutions while negotiating agreements to maximise Annual Recurring Revenue. Working closely with Account Executives and Customer Success teams to analyse client organisational needs, identify security gaps and expansion opportunities that support renewal processes and account growth objectives.
KnowBe4 is the market-leading security awareness training and simulated phishing platform. As a Regional Account Manager, I generated and managed leads through the complete sales cycle from qualification to closing, operating within a highly KPI-driven environment with monthly targets of $27.5k. I focused on three key performance drivers: account retention, upselling, and price negotiation to consistently exceed targets.
AppLearn is in the Digital Adoption Platform space. Like Google Maps for Software, the solution overlays corporate applications with in-app guidance and analytics.
As an SDR, I was responsible for delivering meetings to AEs via cold call, email and LinkedIn prospecting. I was often involved in the sales cycle, helping to present initial sales meetings and observe subsequent pricing and procurement calls.
Was given responsibility over the Existing Customers in June. This involved increasing AppLearn's presence in accounts we had sold to - by finding new opportunities and stakeholders. Involved speaking to a range of seniorities, from analysts to C-suite.
Closed smaller deals near the end of my tenure ($15k) having gone through the sales cycle from initial meeting to close working closely with the account executive team.
During the coronavirus pandemic I worked in the enquiries department at Laithwaite's, primarily dealing with phone sales. It also incorporated responding to complaints; relaying customer feedback; monitoring deliveries and generally being a mediator between customer and company.
Implemented the reorganisation of the Blue Badge system to a paperless one. This work was cut short by the coronavirus pandemic.
I worked intermittently for Pertemps Agency whenever I was home from university. Companies that hired me during this tenure include Attwoolls, Freemans Event Partners and Premiere Kitchens. I was my line-manager's first go-to when new work materialised during this period; he often referred to me as one of his 'most reliable' workers.
Was involved in floor sales at the retailer during the peak 'back to school' and Christmas holiday periods.
