Shawn Oliver SDR for Hire - Science-Based Sales® Professional at preHIRED looking to join a purpose-driven SaaS team.
I thrive at grasping effective processes for efficient work-flow until that becomes a working part of the mind. This frees me up to focus on individuals and groups at a human level. Whether I am presenting a new housewares line item to a large retail customer base, guiding my guests into wine and course pairings, or setting up purchase orders for a complete build of materials, the solution is always about what’s in the best interest of whom I serve. I enjoy finding the perfect solution for people and care about how that solution comes to be.
What I care about is what you want in your future and what I can do to help with that. I have great enthusiasm for new technologies and a strong desire to start a sales career. I have been equipped with the necessary tools, skills, and traits needed to be a top-performing SDR. I’ve learned how to better connect with the individual to present thoughtfully and carefully researched solutions. I foster trust in the relationship by allowing space for clarity and transparency. My tendency toward organization and consistency allows me to transmit what I learn. My desire to contribute and help others allows me to operate with heart and by example. I intend to lead a top-performing sales team within two years.
When I'm not immersed in growth through tech sales, I spend a great deal of time studying tradition and wisdom toward spiritual development. I also like to support local shows, meditate on the beach, and occasionally make art that nobody sees.
