Louis Furney

Results-driven sales professional with 4+ years of success in high-volume and often complex property sales, now pivoting into technology sales. Adept at hunting down and winning new business, managing complex sales cycles, building and maintaining client relations and helping with strategic planning and nurturing of our sales territory. Experienced in communicating with high level stakeholders, developing trust-based relationships, and consistently exceeding KPIs. Passionate from a young age about technology and how it can be utilised to better our lives, and by seeing first-hand how tools like CRMs sculpt and innovate businesses and streamlining the day to day workload of those like myself who take a tech-savvy approach to sales, has only strengthened my urge to be a part of the industry. A collaborative team player with experience in working alongside peers and high end stakeholders as well as leading our team and running day to day operations when needed, I now feel ready to transition and begin a long standing career in the tech sector.

I am very passionate about film, literature and science. I enjoy any form of good storytelling which is probably why I am so passionate about sales, and when engaging with clients I try to bring the level of momentum and energy a good story has to my proposals and pitches. I love the feeling of truly encapsulating someone and bringing them on a journey while weaving in the little factual details. As well as that, I have a great love for martial arts, the outdoors and travel. I feel the more we bring to our lives, the more we can bring to others. I have been fortunate to visit many unique places and experience a wide array of cultures. I spend most weekends going for long hikes and whilst I have given up martial arts involving striking I regularly train Jiu Jitsu, I love its intricacy and the level of creativity it lends itself to. I compete regularly, which appeals greatly to my discipline and allows me to set personal challenging goals.
