About
Sales professional based in Parker, Colorado with hands-on experience both closing in a high-volume phone sales environment and building a team around me. At Pinnacle I averaged $14,000+ in personal monthly premium while coaching a small team to $30,000+ combined, including reps with no prior phone sales experience. I know what it takes to get on the phones, prove the process works, and then teach it to someone else with patience and real feedback.
I'm looking for a role where I can do that full time: get in the trenches first, earn the credibility, then build and run a team that performs.
Experience
Remote Sales Consultant at Pinnacle Life & Annuity Sales (2025-01 – 2026-07)
- Averaged $14,000+ in monthly premium through inbound and outbound phone sales, consistently performing above target in a high-volume environment.
- Recruited, trained, and coached a small sales team to $30,000+/month in combined revenue, including reps who had never closed over the phone before.
- Built training around live call review and direct feedback. Walked new reps through real objections instead of just theory.
- Managed the full sales cycle myself first, qualifying, presenting, handling objections, and closing, before applying that process to coaching others.
- Helped 5 clients move $600,000+ in retirement assets into annuities. High-trust, high-stakes sales that required patience and real consultative skill.
Outside Sales Representative at Vivint Smart Home (2023-06 – 2024-09)
- Closed $750,000+ in total revenue, finishing #3 out of 20 reps in my first season.
- Mentored two newer reps through rough stretches, working through what was actually holding them back rather than just telling them to push harder.
- Built strong objection handling skills from constant face-to-face rejection and follow-up.
Grand Opening Team Lead at Picklr (2024-08 – 2025-07)
- Trained new staff before each location opening, building repeatable onboarding that got people productive fast.
- Worked directly with franchise owners and investors, often coaching first-time operators through a high-pressure launch period.
Outside Service Attendant at Arcis Golf (2020-08 – 2023-01)
- Built long-term relationships with club members through consistent, attentive service. Early lesson in what keeps people coming back.
Education
Diploma – Chaparral High School (2023)
