Upon being appointed Chief Sales Officer in Jan 2019, he asked me to be part of a two-person team to broaden our social selling program globally. I also continued to help him increase his LinkedIn followers to 15K+, and passed numerous opportunities to our sales teams around the world. My co-lead and I educated our sellers and customer-facing staff on -+20% of open pipeline attributed to LinkedIn engagement -+150M+ closed attributed to digital sales (Annually) -Expanded our onboarding training and refresher enablement content.
