Background

About Matt Austin

As an award-winning Sales and Business Development professional with over 5 years of experience, I have achieved or exceeded sales quotas/goals every year for each company I have worked across multiple lines of business. I have an innate ability to identify key executive decision makers and develop prospect pipelines for uncovering sales opportunities. I have a proven track record of initiating and successfully building new accounts through various lead generation activities as well as managing, upselling and expanding existing clients. I have been engaged by my employers as a trusted advisor to rescue and turn around under-performing territories. I have been honored to receive recognition as the #1,#3, and #6 sales person in the country in my role with Kellogg’s as well as on track to earn 2017 hall of fame recognition with State Farm.While I am very successful in prospecting, selling and supporting clients remotely, I am truly passionate about meeting clients in-person and feel it is essential to building strong connections and long-term relationships from our initial communication through ongoing support. I find it provides an opportunity to uncover customer needs, and determine the proper solutions that fulfill their needs. I am a results-oriented professional who is skilled at driving and closing sales to exceed quotas and goals that increase company revenues. I am a quick-learner who is easily adaptable in any industry and have proven these abilities when I began in the insurance field, after a background in the manufacturing industry.I am a highly effective leader who can mentor and train staff as well as delegate tasks to ensure quotas are met and organizational goals are achieved.
