Mexico City

Summary

My short-to-midterm goal is first to become part of a specialized Business Development unit to apply growth strategies through the definition of measurable KPIs, creation, and execution of sales enablement programs to assess and mature knowledge and sales practices for a specific line of business. Then to lead a practice with a consultative sales approach to have a direct impact on solution selling and demand generation, and help the adjacent teams to improve processes and procedures to assure speed and quality in the book-to-bill cycle, from the solution concept to the actual customer sign off and continuous customer validation. Next to help define and set the proper skillset expected from a Technical and Consultative Sales team with customer-facing abilities. Also to learn from others and to apply and share best practices to gain speed and quality and to help sell beyond the product/features but into the real customer operation. And finally to really have an impact on the way we sell quality solutions vs products to our customers.

As a front-line CC & CCaaS specialist, I was able to increase both technical and business consulting sales for customers in both the Unified Communications and Contact Center spaces specifically UC User Adoption, CC Optimization, and SIP Transformation. As a Senior Consultant in recent years, I had the opportunity of doing both technical and business consulting projects, some outstanding examples are a Staffing Model for a Federal Emergency agency in Costa Rica, SIP Adoption Program for a large financial institution in Chile, Major CC Consolidation and Merger CC Transformation Projects for one of the largest ISPs and Mobile SPs in Mexico respectively.
