Bio
Travis Connell ☁
Deanna is the consummate sales professional. Her attention to detail and grasp of emerging technological and market trends made her an invaluable member of my sales team for over three years. She consistently surpassed her targets and genuinely cared about her customers. I'd highly recommend her as an asset to any company seeking to employ rockstar sales professionals. And she's one of the nicest people I've ever met

Deanna was part of the sales team I put together when I moved to the Bay Area. She came recommended to me from outside the industry. Deanna had many challenges with this postion and handled them with professionalism. Deanna learned a new industry while establishing herself with an existing customer base. Many of her customers demanded attention immediately which she managed. Exhibiting the ability to learn an industry, establish a good rapport with existing base of customers and look to grow her business was impressive.
