Bio
LinkedIn User
I have known Sara for almost 8 years and worked with her directly for almost 6 of those. In that time, I was witness to someone that is tenacious, hardworking, and committed to the success of both the organization she represents, as well as her customers. Sara leaves long shadows for those that follow her, as it is hard to maintain much of the day-to-day in sales while also giving as much personal attention to the customer as she has. To be clear, this is not just with the "easy" customers - she has excelled at the customer success and retention side of things as well, spending the necessary time to retain customers who have had challenges to work through, while maintaining the rest of her workload. Sara is a true professional, consistently attracting new business, building lasting relationships (internally and externally), and always contributing to the success of the business and its partners. I'm sure she'll continue to do the same wherever she goes.

I have worked along side Sara on many projects. Sara is very knowledgeable about her products and her clients needs. Is always available to her clients, even after hours. Sara would be a strong asset to any company she is working for.
