Bio
Bryce Kropf
Brandon Watkins is a high-quality individual and professional. As an SDR on my team, he was always driving new processes and ideas to help the entire team be more efficient, sell more, and bring more opportunities for everyone. He was a key player on many projects as an SDR and as a project driver and ideator when he transitioned into a sales ops role. If you are looking for someone who is highly analytical but also has sales chops and knows how to hit the phones Brandon is your triple-threat real deal. I feel honored to have worked with him and learned a great deal from his insights and approach.

Brandon and I had the pleasure of working together at NAZ Today. While a news station often brings hectic time crunches and stories subjected on the opposite ends of the spectrum, Brandon's work soared above the normal student standards. This allowed for NAZ Today to gain a professional feel and establish higher credibility for our audiences and clients.
