01 Performance & Achievements

Five quarters,
five times at or over quota.

A rising line is a boring number if it's not repeatable. Mine is. Each quarter below shows quota attainment — hover to see what made it.

I'm currently a Velocity Account Executive at Seismic. I started as an SDR, consistently exceeded quota, stayed at the top of the leaderboard, and interviewed internally to be selected for the Velocity program — a more full-cycle, AE-style role.

I've generated over $7M in pipeline, sourced $800K+ in closed-won revenue, and maintained strong activity metrics — a 53% conversation rate and 25% meeting conversion rate. I've been recognized as a Top Enterprise SDR twice, Financial Services MVP, and a President's Club candidate.

Before Seismic, I worked in staffing, where I built my foundation in prospecting by going door-to-door across Boston. That experience shaped my comfort with outreach, resilience, and the ability to build relationships quickly.

I'm someone who's very focused on continuous improvement, ownership, and driving outcomes.
03 Why me

Four things I can
promise you.

I.
Work ethic & ownership
  • Strong foundation in accountability — I take the rep, not the excuse
  • Treat my territory like it's my own business
  • Show up prepared, every call, every time
II.
Focus on controllables
  • Consistency over heroics — repeatable inputs drive repeatable outputs
  • Continuous improvement as a daily habit
  • Don't get distracted by what I can't change
III.
Coachable, resilient, gritty
  • Thick skin for rejection, short memory for bad calls
  • Recover fast, re-engage faster
  • Stay even-keeled when quarters get tight
IV.
Feedback as fuel
  • Actively seek feedback — I don't wait for the 1:1
  • Apply it quickly and measurably
  • Study top performers and steal the good habits
04 How I'm coming into this

Four reps I've
already taken.

a.
Coachability & growth
  • Got feedback early to go deeper on 2nd- and 3rd-level discovery questions
  • Reviewed my own calls, shadowed top AEs, identified where to add depth
  • Turned it into stronger, more consultative conversations tied to business outcomes
  • Takeaway: feedback is the fastest path to improvement — I seek it out
b.
Pipeline generation
  • Outbound is core — but never the only lever
  • Multi-thread into accounts, expand beyond the initial contact
  • Leverage marketing touchpoints (events) to re-engage with context
  • Align outreach to real triggers: tech changes, org shifts, new initiatives
  • Proof: $7.4M pipeline · 52 opps · 53% convo · 25% mtg conv
c.
Prospecting + closing
  • Velocity role = running my own deals while keeping SDR responsibilities live
  • Structured with my time — prospecting is non-negotiable
  • Adjust for deal urgency without letting pipeline generation drop
  • Proof: 100%+ outbound SDR quota maintained while running deals
d.
AI in my workflow
  • Embedded AI into account research, call analysis, and follow-ups
  • Moves faster, shows up more prepared — but I refine everything personally
  • Removes low-value work so I can focus on conversations and progressing deals
  • Why it matters: leverage without losing the human touch

word for it.

Highlighting a meeting below from @Samantha Brennan. A great example of why omni-channel outreach is so critical for building pipeline. Yes, the phone is our #1 producing channel, but our volume of LinkedIn meetings has been steadily increasing YoY. @Samantha Brennan — 6 meetings this week… way to set the bar. For those of you not here, I hope you're listening to these calls and getting better. Sam is always available. Relevant context plays a big role in quality activity. Exceptional use of customer examples to capture attention. Let's go @Samantha Brennan!

Joey Vendel, VP Sales Leadership

The second game ball goes to someone who is looking to defend their MVP title in Q4. She had an extremely effective week on the phones with a 7.8% connect rate and 53% meeting rate, ultimately leading to 6 booms. Like above, 5 of the 6 meetings booked were aligned to our ABX play in FS. Give it up for @Samantha Brennan!

Wanted to show visibility into the meeting Sam booked and shine a light into WHY she is #1 on the SDR leaderboard right now. She is relentless, delivers value upfront, and is getting to the C-suite yet AGAIN.

@Samantha Brennan helped secure a formal meeting to kick off a Learning evaluation. We learned that leadership is focused on increasing growth through new initiatives, and driving effective conversations through Seismic Learning would be a key piece to help them achieve this outcome in 2025.

This one only started back in the middle of September. We might not have even earned a seat at the table here if @Samantha Brennan didn't pick up on the strong 6sense signals and set up the initial call with Nichole, their Head of Marketing, and their Head of Distribution Tech.
