Field Organizer

Black lives matter. It was a mistake to appropriate the word AFRO because I do not identify as Black. At the time I had poofy hair, and while many folks commented on my "afro" or "Jew-fro," it was inappropriate to name my consulting business after a term which represents a culture I am not a part of. I regret this decision, but I'm leaving this up here as a testament to my updated views.Poof up your sales! I work with startups and other companies to increase revenue quickly by systemizing and optimizing sales processes. Contact me if you:-- are about to make a sales hire-- want to build a bigger pipeline-- need to improve your sales technology (CRM, tracking, etc.)-- hope to boost sales revenue quicklyWith over 8 years of sales and management experience across startups, non-profits, and corporations, Afro helps business owners take the hassle out of the hustle.
