I’ve worked in sales for about two years, focused on outbound lead generation and appointment setting. I started with LinkedIn DMs, cold email, and WhatsApp outreach, and I’ve learned most of it by doing: sending the messages, getting blocked and ignored, and improving until people started replying. Today I run personalized LinkedIn outreach with short Loom videos and free samples of work, and I track my replies and booked calls every week.
I closed a client for my brother’s agency through consistent follow-up, and I still do outreach and client work there. I’ve also worked in several commission-based sales roles, which taught me how to generate leads and handle rejection without losing focus.
A year ago my English listening was my biggest weakness. I trained it daily, and I now hold real conversations with prospects and closers. The part of sales I enjoy most is the conversation itself: listening for what the person really needs before I respond.
