-Closed over $10M in combined funded volume in twelve months — my own deals plus deals I closed for other reps. -Created relationships with other offices to position myself as a closer. Reps across other offices started routing their deals to me because I closed. That trust grew my pipeline way past what I sourced on my own. -Built tight relationships with the reps in my own office too — sharing leads, coordinating on accounts, and helping newer guys get deals over the line. -Built and managed outbound cold email campaigns from scratch to keep new leads coming in. -Built and managed outbound cold text campaigns that drove a steady flow of fresh prospects.

-Started as a cold caller and closed $500K in funded volume during my first six months. -Built three lead-generation systems from scratch — cold email campaigns, cold text campaigns, and cross-office relationships with other reps — to drive consistent pipeline. -Performance and the funnels I built earned a promotion to Account Executive. -In the following 12 months at the job I funded a total of 10M+ across deals I originated as well as deals I closed from other BDR reps pipelines that I was entrusted to manage
