Moving onto the next chapter with Zift

Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro, once said, “I can sell anything that I totally believe in, but I'm a horrible salesman of something I don't believe in.”

For the past three years, I’ve been fortunate to be part of growing the business and brand of Mindmatrix.  I learned a lot along the way about the channel -  one thing in particular is that I’ve found a space I really believe in and enjoy.

Having said that, I found myself looking ahead.  Not just toward my future, but the future of channel technology.  And with that I found it was time for a new challenge.  With enormous gratitude to where I’ve been, I joined Zift Solutions as a Sales Director.

Why Zift?  

In the channel tech industry, Zift is leading the way and has demonstrated over and over again the ability to fulfill customer needs.  Beyond technology, the services they offer customers is unmatched. Zift’s successful acquisition history, and the merger with Relayware earlier this year is more proof of their investment in Channel as a Service and becoming a true end to end solution.  

More than closing a sale, I have greater satisfaction in building relationships by helping customers find consistency and success in their channel programs.  I really dig (yes I used the word dig, as my 8 year old daughter and I are Scooby Doo Fans) educating them on all of their options.  And with Zift, there is incredible potential to do more - through integration at the product, process and people levels.

Right below all of our names on our LinkedIn profiles, there’s a line for a brief description - some may call it our own brand’s mission statement.  “Helping companies generate revenue and sustainable growth through their partners.”  That’s what mine says.  It’s what I believe in, it’s what I enjoy, and it’s what I will continue to do every day at Zift.

Thank you all for your well wishes and kind words as I start this next chapter.  Stay tuned!!!!
