SDR | Cold Calling | Outbound & Inbound Sales | HubSpot | GoHighLevel
HubSpot Inbound certified with hands-on experience executing outbound prospecting and inbound lead qualification for B2B companies, booking meetings, managing CRM pipelines, and building multi-channel outreach across cold calls, email, and SMS. I've prospected across multiple B2B verticals, including home services, travel, events, and tourism, and I adapt to new industries and process quickly. I have experience writing my own scripts and am capable of refining my approach based on personas and what's landing in real conversations to be most effective. On the CRM side, I've set up and managed both HubSpot and GoHighLevel for teams, building custom fields and objects to ensure good data is being captured, the pipeline is accurate, and reporting helps teams improve and get better over time. I share updates proactively with full context: not just numbers but what I'm hearing from prospects, what's converting, and what needs adjusting, so continuous improvements can be made. Before B2B sales, I spent two years as a dive instructor across Mozambique and Southeast Asia, where I certified 35+ students, guided 250+ introductory dives, and taught people from all over the world how to take their first breaths underwater. Building trust through clear communication and authenticity is what I bring to my sales approach now. This consistently made me a top performer in sales and commission: selling courses, trips, and luxury experiences to people from all different backgrounds. That experience built instincts I still use every day, like how to read people quickly, handle objections naturally and confidently, and stay composed under pressure. I've also sold previously in hospitality, health and fitness, and automotive industries, so I know how to drive results by prioritizing quickly and following through. TOOLS I WORK WITH: HubSpot GoHighLevel Notion Slack Google Workspace Zoom Loom Claude OpenAI Google Sheets I'm fluent in English and Afrikaans, available across US, UK, EU, and AU time zones, and building a long-term career in sales with a clear path toward a full-cycle Account Executive role. If that kind of mindset is something you value in the people you bring on, I'd love to connect.
