Background

About Marekus Smith

Marekus, to his core, has always been an extremely self-motivated individual. Dating back to his teenage years, the passing of his mother awakened an innate drive to succeed. By embracing adversity, an unshakable determination led to him becoming one of the top rated football players in the state of Georgia and an outstanding dual athlete in college where he garnered All American / National Championship honors in both Football and Track & Field. A natural leader, Marekus finds energy in new challenges and approaches new situations with a thoughtful, intentional lens. He enjoys people and has a passion for mentoring others and enhancing company culture with his positivity and quick wit. His self-assured yet authentic nature allows for ease in building relationships with people from all walks of life. His critical thinking mindset allows him to quickly adapt to new situations, identify problem statements and to see the bigger picture. A focused attention to detail and strong work ethic have carried him throughout his journey of personal and professional development. As a sales professional, Marekus strives to add value to his customers by taking the time to ask questions and fully understand their business. He is a master at using relevant real life analogies to increase customer buy-in which ultimately leads to higher sales. Statements from his professional community articulate it best… Before we read those statements, let's create framing. Key people were asked one question,"If someone who trusts you needed a sales person as an individual contributor or new division sales leader, why would you recommend me, and how would you describe me to them?" Due to character limits, please see the responses in the recommendations. Thanks
