I was seven when my entrepreneurial spirit first surfaced. I started making jewelry by hand from second-hand beads, took my little business seriously, held meetings with my sister and my friend to discuss new designs, and set up shop at the end of my parents’ driveway. As I got older, I never stopped selling: blackberries, then ballet classes I talked my parents into letting me teach at the local recreation center, all the way through college.
I went to college to become a broadcast journalist and ended up hosting the school’s live radio talk show, interviewing people and getting answers to my millions of questions. That led me to media advertising, where my first cold call to a local sales manager landed an unpaid internship. Before the internship ended, he hired me full time.
A few years in, one of my clients at a large specialized recruitment agency told me I’d make a fantastic recruiter. Slightly skeptical, I joined, and it turned out to be the best move of my sales career: quotas, cold calling, and every key performance indicator under the sun.
A smaller five-office agency recruited me to launch their sales and marketing recruitment division. Then a startup sales recruitment agency spent ten months persistently recruiting me, and I joined. I spent the next 7.5 years there, worked my way to employee #1 in Western Canada, and went on to manage the business for half the country as it grew into Canada’s largest sales recruitment agency.
Life brought me to the United States, and I was ready for my next big challenge. Today I own Sellers Hub, a sales-specific recruitment firm that brings great companies and sales talent together across the U.S. and, now, around the world. People are an integral part of an organization, and we leave no stone unturned to find a great match.
Passionate about sales.
