Bio
Jennifer Wickliffe
Lawrence was hired to join the Monkeybrains sales team, and he came with a wealth of marketing knowledge - which made him an even greater asset! He embraced every aspect of sales with the willingness to learn, the energy to manage his territory with great success, and the confidence to cold call, pitch, and introduce Monkeybrains to MDU property managers and HOA boards. He caught on quickly to the sales process, and then learned to use his own personality and style to drive sales. His education and technical understanding of marketing strategies was simply a cherry on top!

As our Social Media Marketing Intern, Lawrence created fresh content for our blog, managed our social media presence across multiple platforms, and SEO-optimized our entire blog for maximum ranking performance. His ambition paid off in a variety of ways—including the creation of 100+ linkbacks that improved our overall pagerank, and innovative social media outreach that resulted in new customers for Tallie. Lawrence required very little instruction, and really proved his ability to self-motivate and problem solve independently. I also admired his diligent work ethic and desire to work efficiently when he came into our office. As a member of our team, he was warm, funny, flexible, and a delight to communicate with. I want to note that our financial software product has a steep learning curve, and Lawrence made great strides early on in his understanding of how Tallie works. He's a great asset to our team!
