I've been a part of selling for over 25 years as an individual contributor and sales leader. Roles have included managing alliances, selling to the mid market over the phone, managing large enterprise sales, and just about everything in between. I have typically worked for small to mid-sized companies, although now I work for a very large organization. I've also co-founded two start-ups, gone nearly broke, and re-launched my career at the age of 40.
